Collect Objective and Subjective Data The information you choose to collect should be specific to your project and should reveal underlying symptoms in your development process, such as, resource costs, boundary conditions, schedule predictability, defect counts, etc. Look for information that will reveal where the problems lay. For example, if the project suffered from scarce resources you might present the number of resources on the project, both planned and actual, by month. Suffering feature creep? Make a list of each time the features were revisited and list the changes made.
Examples of Objective Data
- Event Timeline
- Schedule Predictability
- Number of times the feature set was defined and when it happened
- Boundary conditions, planned and actual
- Resources over time, planned and actual
- 'Bugs' found over time compared to fixed over time
- Number of changes to the software
- Hours spent in meetings
- Build dates, predicted and actual
- Subjective scales
- Configurations/ platforms supported
