| contents | Designing a Strategic Measurement Program for Software Engineering Organizations: Discovering Difficulties and Problems Hugo A. Mitre-Hernández Antonio De Amescua-Seco Javier García-Guzmán Perla Velasco-Elizondo Ingeniería design reviews student teams • design strategy • measurement methods • Software measurement is widely recognized as an essential part of unders- tanding, controlling, monitoring, predicting, and evaluating software deve- lopment and maintenance projects. Both, software process improvement (SPI) and software measurement literature include many case studies of suc- cessful companies and descriptions of their measurement programs. Howe- ver, there are still concerns on how to design efficient strategic measurement programs. These concerns include the lack of involvement of the SEO’s per- sonnel, bad alignment with its strategy and improvement initiative, difficul- ty to justify the utility of using standards or improvement initiatives, etc. All of the former results in inadequate measurement programs that often lead to poor decisions and economic loss. This paper describes a pilot study to ob- serve and analyze the operation of measurement teams when using measu- rement methods such as Balanced Objective-Quantifiers Method (BOQM), Practical Software Measurement (PSM) and Balanced Scorecard and Goal-Driven Measurement (BSC&GQ[I]M) to design a strategic measurement program. From the results of the study, we gained some insight on common difficul- ties and problems, which are useful to consider when designing of strategic measurement programs. This paper describes an important milestone in achieving our main research goal, evaluate and find suggestions to design a strategic measurement program aligned correctly with the strategic goals, for effective decision making at all organization levels and justify the utili- ties or benefits of integrating improvement initiatives. 2014 artículo científico 1405-7743 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=40430749009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=404 Ingeniería.
