Part 3a: Standard Measurement Strategy Examples

Minor editing August 2021

MPC

The purpose of this Part 3a of the COSMIC Measurement Manual is to document a set of measurement (strategy) pattern examples (‘standard strategies’) for commonly-occurring situations, that ensure ‘like-for-like’ size comparisons. For each standard strategy it will be discussed whether the resulting size measurements can be safely used to establish valid, comparable project performance measurements and performance benchmarks, and hence can be used for estimating new projects. The examples are presented per functional domain.
