Benchmarking and Baselining for Process Improvement

Do you know how your software development teams are performing against their peers? Can you measure the benefits of new processes, methodologies or tools? Can you use historical performance trends to support new project planning initiatives? QSM’s SLIM-Metrics helps with all your software project performance baselining and benchmarking needs.

SLIM-Metrics works with our SLIM-DataManager data repository tool to help you preserve software project histories, assess competitive positions, identify bottlenecks, quantify the benefits of process improvements, and defend future project estimates. Benchmark your data against industry reference trends from the QSM database of over 13,000 completed software projects—or create your own benchmark trends to use in SLIM-Metrics, SLIM-Estimate, or SLIM-Control.
