Background

Success in the software design demands transparency. To allow transparency, projects and pro-cesses must be quantifiable in some form. Metrics are a way to quantify projects and processes. They represent characteristic attributes of the measured entity. In order to conduct the measure, a measure specification must be available. Thus, the measure takes place either manually operat-ed or supported by some tool. Metrics will be used during all phases starting from software design up to quality assurance and estimations.
The importance of metrics is reflected in industries best practices. A positive assessment in CMMI Level 3 for instance, requires organizationally wide defined metrics. For example, management level metrics and their measure requirements will most likely be organizationally wide defined. Although these metrics are applied throughout the organization, these metrics need to be adapted or adjusted to fit the specific project conditions. These changed metrics are called variations of the organizational wide metrics whereas the adjustment is called tailoring. Although this is performed in many organizations neither the methodology for the tailoring is understood, nor are sophisti-cated tools being used to assist it.

In addition, the reporting from the corresponding metric documentation must be adjusted.
