Formulation of metric based software project performance monitoring model: A roadmap

Successful implementation of software projects are completely depending upon successful monitoring and controlling mechanism. The ignorance of monitoring and controlling mechanism by the project managers and the team members in a software projects development, leading to inadequate decision with fruitless outcomes. One of the ways to monitor the software projects is by looking at the performance of the elements that involved in a software project development. Development of metrics for each element in a software project development will lead the software projects to complete its objectives. This paper presents on formulation of Metric based Software Project Performance Monitoring Model which consists of metrics for each software project elements. Generally, this model will be a guideline for project managers to monitor and manage software projects especially in the perspectives of the public sectors.
