Measuring Requirements

In this chapter, we cover accurately measuring requirements and why disciplined organizations collect a focused set of metrics for all of their projects.

These metrics provide insight into the size of the product; the effort, time, and money that the project or individual tasks consumed; the project status; and the product’s quality. Because requirements are an essential project component, you should measure several aspects of your requirements engineering activities.  

In this chapter, we’ll look at several meaningful metrics related to requirements activities on your projects, including: 

  • Product size and requirements quality  
  • Measuring status and requests for change  
  • The benefits of measuring requirements 

In this Chapter:
9.1 – Identifying and Measuring the Quality of Requirements
9.2 – Status Request Changes
