Hi Jeganathan,

The best way to do this currently in EPF is to define a supporting 
material for a "metric", and use a consistent icon for metrics to 
distinguish from other supporting materials.

There are some better ways to do this with Rational Method Composer.  The 
best is to use the new feature to create custom types.
You can define a new type called "metric", give it a specific default 
icon, and define additional attributes and associations as desired.
We haven't yet done this yet in our IBM library, but it's a reasonable 
change that we may make in the future.  For now, we use supporting 
materials and tag as "metrics".

Subject:        [epf-dev] Feature Suggestion : Including Metrics and 
Measures Definition feature in EPF
Sent by:        [email protected]



Hi All,

I am a Process and Quality Assurance Analyst at a Canada based IT services 
and product company.

I was exploring features with EPF and have the below suggestion.

Any process definition, implementation and improvement require definition 
and collection of  process measures/metrics and also task 
related measures and metrics. Without defining appropriate measures and 
metrics a process definition is never complete.

For example productivity is one metric with agile and measures such as 
effort and kloc are to be captured at each sprint level.Also an artifact 
or a deliverable can be associated with metric such as defect density, 
size etc (in software development or services terms)

A provision added to the EPF  tool to define measures, relate them to 
metrics and also relate them to artifacts/tasks/processes etc..
This will also enable metrics/measures definition re-use across the 
processes.

Just wanted to share this suggestion :-).Thanks a ton  for the  great work 
you people are doing.

Thanks and Regards,
Jeganathan Velu. _______________________________________________
