Recording of lunch seminar from May 30th:
How to succeed with communicating software metrics in the organization? Five questions for managers
Speaker: Aleksandre Asatiani from University of Gothenburg.
While software metrics are indispensable for quality assurance, using metrics in practice is far from uncomplicated. Implementing and executing metrics are challenging tasks as it is difficult to manage the technical and human aspects of the software measurement. Based on the data from four companies, the study identifies several bottlenecks in the process of metrics implementation and communication, suggesting key questions managers should ask to help them success in the process. The findings also highlight the importance of trust, control, and transparency in communication between developers and management, emphasizing the paramount role of an effective communication process for decision making, based on metrics.
