Main Description
This set of guidelines describes the essential measures specific to the Requirement Management practice. These measures are in-process and post-delivery measures, and are intended to be applicable to all levels of process maturity. The core measurements are a minimum set of measurements that are considered best practices. Core Measurements High-Level Requirement Stability: to monitor requirements churn. Requirement Defect Count: to measure the effectiveness of Requirement Management practice adoption. If a high percentage of defects are attributed to the Requirement Mangement discipline, then more skills development or increased formality may be necessary. Untraced Requirements: to identifies degree of low-level requirements that are not substantiated by the presence of appproved high-level requirements. Supplementary Measurements Instability of Requirement Set Late in Project Lifecycle: brings focus to ensuring that requirements are stable earlier in the project, to reduce the impact of late discovery. Requirement Traceability Coverage: to measure the traceability of high-level requirements to low-level requirements.
