Ahh, Karl beat me to saying this. ;) I have very few broad ideas of these metrics so far. It would be good if we can grow this and publish it, and run a survey across a sample of design companies, corporate departments, and so forth. I propose a set of metrics based on time - time can be translated into man-hour costs. So, very broadly, we may need to know for BOTH complaint/uncompliant design projects, how much time is taken in: - concept/design - development - deployment - maintenance - ?? We need to be able to decide which projects are 'similar-sized' seeing as it is not an accurate measurement if the basis for comparison is not the same. How do we do this? By a projected anticpated amount of time taken based on man-hours? (Any better ideas?) Once these metrics are established, this survey could perhaps be run once every year, or every two years. Then we would also have a trend :) How does all this sound? cheers, -steph random web dudette http://unadorned.org/
