GQM+Strategies is an approach designed to help the software industry develop measurement programs that are aligned with business goals. The resulting structure, which aligns metrics (GQM goals) and business goals, is called a grid. Usefulness (quality) of the grids depends on how well the environment is characterized by the grid elements. Our research objective was to construct a tool which would support and improve the context/assumption definition and strategy selection activities of the grid derivation process. The constructive research work took place between two pilot applications of the GQM+Strategies approach. The first one identified key requirements, while the second one was used to test the tool. For the validation we used a questionnaire to assess practitioners' feedback regarding usefulness of the tool. We augmented the GQM+Strategies toolbox with the SAS tool. The principles used to design the tool complement the grid derivation process and practices. Two industrial pilot applications of GQM+Strategies demonstrated the usefulness of the SAS tool.
