Tailoring
Impact of not having | This is a critical artifact and without it the measures being gathered would have no context. |
Reasons for not needing | This individual artifact could be combined with the Measurement Requirements, Measurement Specifications and the
Measurement Process Model into a Measurement Plan. |
Representation Options | This information is normally captured in a word processing document, but it could also be maintained in a Requirement
Management tool. |
