Abstract

An important reason why measurement program implementation fails is that the maturity of companies as regards measurement has not been taken into account at its definition phase. Unfortunately, the major methods and frameworks supporting measurement programs ---such as Goal Question Metric (GQM), Goal-Driven Software Measurement, GQ(I)M, PSM and ISO/IEC 15939--- do not explicitly address, this issue, which is especially important in small and medium settings, where low measurement maturity level is typical and there are more measurement implementation constraints. Additionally, these companies usually have poor measurement knowledge, limited resources and budget, which prevent measurement integration in the corporate culture. This restricts measurement support in these companies and increases the chances of failure. In this paper we will be looking at an adaptation of the software measurement maturity method developed by Daskalantonakis. The so-called "MIS-PyME maturity model" is focused on giving support towards measurement program definition and is integrated in MIS-PyME, a methodological framework for measurement suited to small and medium settings.
