Abstract

Measurement programs often go astray and fail to reach full success because of misconceptions and differences in expectations about the benefits to be realized as a result of a measurement exercise. This paper suggests how to plan and apply requirements reuse measurement in a business focussed way, by doing frequent benefits assessments. We describe an approach to analyzing, evaluating and tracking the reuse metrics usage patterns in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects and the benefits gained from integrating requirements reuse measurement practices in the ERP requirements elicitation- modelling- negotiation cycle. Relationships between requirements measurement activities and requirements engineering activities and deliverables are studied in the context of SAP R/ 3 implementation projects.
