Abstract
This paper describes metrics based project management systems that can simultaneously manage several types of project such as system development and package products development. The metrics enable SQA managers and executives to understand status of the project in the same point of view. In our approach, domain specific issues are surveyed and standard metrics which can visualize project status are defined. Then, the metrics are collected by project managers in order to report them to SQA managers. Additionally, in order to reduce the workload of the reporting tasks. Project management systems are introduced to generate metrics from favorite project management tool. The system enables SQA managers and executives to check the status of the project by weekly. The system can enumerate risky project by alarming and showing historical trend of metrics. It enables us to grasp project situation, to monitor several projects simultaneously and to find risks in project at early stage. As a result, projects in failure will be reduced at lower cost.
