I am looking for pointers to any information on creating a good
metrics program on the project level. I am looking for guidelines
for a project manager if he/she wants to embark on a program to
collect in-process metrics. I have heard of Basili's goal-directed
metrics paradigm, but I can't seem to find any references to it.
Anyone know if he actually wrote a paper on this? I heard about it
at a talk he gave at AT&T Bell Labs about 3 years ago.

Also, if you have instituted a sucessful metrics program for your
project, I'd be interested in hearing from you. I'm less concerned
about the actual metrics you collected and more interested in how
you determined which metrics you would collect and how you went
about getting the data.

Thanks for any help!!
