| Integrating systems measurement into your software and systems delivery process with the RUP for PSM Plug-in from The Rational Edge: Rational thought leaders created the IBM Rational Unified Process for Practical Software and Systems Measurement (RUP for PSM) Plug-in as part of an industry-wide effort to standardize project and process measurement in software development and delivery organizations. The new, third release of this product contains important additions and features, which are detailed in this article. Read more>>
To supplement the measurement guidance in RUP so that organizations could quantify and track costs, schedules, and technical objectives for their increasingly complex projects, several years ago IBM Rational thought leaders joined forces with measurement professionals in the U.S. government and worldwide industry and academia to create the RUP for PSM Plug-in. Based on best practices of measurement professionals within the software and systems acquisition and engineering communities, it integrates measurement activities, artifacts, and concepts into the standard RUP framework. The result is an information-driven process flexible enough to address each organization's unique technical and business goals. This initiative was part of an industry-wide effort to introduce a consistent set of standards and guidance for implementing project and process measurement. PSM guidelines are incorporated into the base document for the ISO/IEC 15939, Systems and Software Engineering -- Measurement Process 1 . In turn, this document now serves as input for the Measurement and Analysis (MA) process area of the Capability Maturity Model® IntegratedSM (CMMISM) 2 , for many other ISO/IEC standards, and for the measurement guidance produced by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Those who use the RUP for PSM Plug-in 3.0 can be assured that their projects will align with measurement guidance embodied in the CMMI and ISO/IEC standards.
The new release of the RUP for PSM Plug-in (Version 3.0) incorporates measures vital to organizations involved with systems engineering.
