Description
Brief Outline |
-
Detailed Metrics - each of the measures and indicators defined in detail, including such
aspects as the frequency and format of the data collection as well as the data interpretation.
-
Detailed Measurement Infrastructure - software and hardware is identified that will be used in the
collection, manipulation, storage, and the reporting of the measures and indicators. Within this artifact tool
configuration information will be documented. A topology diagram is suggested to document the hardware and software
components and their relationships.

Tailoring
Impact of not having | This is a critical artifact; organizations must have a place to store the measurement design and configuration information. |
Representation Options | This information is normally captured in a word processing document, Excel spreadsheet with the topology diagram
illustrated in a UML diagram. |
