Agile Metrics : A seminal approach for calculating Metrics in Agile Projects

Organizations today are increasingly recognizing the advantages and benefits of using the agile project management approach in their projects. While most large corporations see definite advantages in using the agile approach in project development, organizations are lost when it comes to using a well defined set of metrics that can be applied to these Agile Projects. Many organizations continue to use traditional project metrics and struggle to adapt various traditional techniques to the agile approach.

With the overwhelming ubiquity of agile project management there is an increasing need for a well structured, relevant and comprehensive set of metrics that would assist project managers, senior executives and project sponsors alike not just simply to track agile projects, but over time improve the agile process.

The agile metrics in use today suffer from a variety of shortcomings and drawbacks. A common issue observed in the current set of agile metrics out there is that they tend to mix up project and process metrics. Some talk about Quality metrics while others focus only on Project metrics. Very few also talk about process metrics. All the suggested approaches and metrics are fragmented over different authors leading to confusion and there is no clear presentation of a comprehensive metrics set that clearly distinguishes and defines project, process and product metrics.

Another primary shortcoming is that most of these metrics not agile-centric but adaptations of traditional metrics. Today the most widely used and recognized agile project metrics are the AgileEVM. However it too suffers from this inherent shortcoming in that it is an intelligent attempt to adapt traditional metrics to somehow "fit" the agile model.

The solution lies in examining the agile manifesto and building metrics based on the tenets of agile project management principles.

The idea is not to simply disregard the currently used agile metrics but rather to learn from their shortcomings, improve on their drawbacks, collate the best ideas from the ones proposed and combine them with ideas of agile centric approach, to develop a comprehensive metrics for organizations.The complete set of metrics including customer satisfaction metrics, reliability metrics, Earned Value Metrics and more process metrics are presented and discussed in greater detail in the paper "Comprehensive Agile Metrics: a seminal approach for calculating metrics for Agile projects"

It is important to recognize that comprehensive Agile Metrics is the first set of metrics of its kind derived from an agile-centric approach and specially suited to the needs of Agile project management.

These agile metrics have been used in over two dozen projects within different  organizations with a high degree of success measured in terms of customer satisfaction, product quality improvement and organizational process improvement. Projects consisted of team sizes varying from 5-7 member teams to 10-15 member teams using the Agile Scrum methodology. Overall project timelines varied from projects having 3-4 month deliverable schedule to projects well over the 12-14 month mark.

We foresee that comprehensive Agile Metrics as described above will increasingly be used within organizations using Agile Project development and will soon become the industry standard set of metrics for Agile projects.

Kerr Metric $58.94 In general relativity, the Kerr metric (or Kerr vacuum) describes the geometry of spacetime around a rotating massive body. According to this metric, such rotating bodies should exhibit frame dragging, an unusual prediction of general relativity; measurement of this frame dragging effect was a major goal of the Gravity Probe B experiment. Roughly speaking, this effect predicts that objects coming close to a rotating mass will be entrained to participate in its rotation, not because of any applied force or torque that can be felt, but rather because the curvature of spacetime associated with rotating bodies. At close enough distances, all objects even light itself must rotate with the body; the region where this holds is called the ergosphere. The Kerr metric is often used to describe rotating black holes, which exhibit even more exotic phenomena. Such black holes have two surfaces where the metric appears to have a singularity; the size and shape of these surfaces depends on the black holes mass and angular momentum. The outer surface encloses the ergosphere and has a shape similar to a flattened sphere.

Metric Pattern Cutting $40.99 Metric Pattern Cutting was first published in 1975 to provide a straightforward introductory book for students beginning courses in flat pattern cutting. The fourth edition continues to offer an introduction to the basic principles of pattern cutting, with a range of good basic blocks and examples of their application to garments. However, the great expansion of casual wear, cut in jersey or stretch fabrics, has led to the growth of 'flat cutting' with no darting to create the shape and this edition devotes a whole section to this type of cutting. The sections on computer-aided design and grading have been updated. The size charts of body measurements have been revised, reflecting the changing shape of women's bodies.
