• A measurement analyst selects measures for the Information Need "Evaluate the status of the software design activity and see whether design activities are being completed as scheduled." Based on the evaluation criteria Measurement Results Fitness for Purpose, are the selected measured provided in Table 5 of the Supplementary worksheet relevant to decision making?

1. No, because the measures are not directly related to design process
2. Yes, because the measures are taken on a regular basis
3. No, because the measures do not satisfy assumptions in the model
4. Yes, because the measures identify design progress

Attributes	Planned design units Status of design units

Base Measure Specification
Base Measures	Design units planned for each period Design units that have completed design
Measurement Methods	Count the cumulative number of design units planned to be completed to date. Count the number of approved design units under configuration management.

Derived Measure Specification
Derived Measure	Percent of design units completed
Measurement Function	Divide the design units that have completed design by the design units planned for each period and multiply by 100

Indicator Specification
Indicator Description and Sample	Design Completion - graph the two base measures (planned design units complete, actual units complete) over time, plus include a data table with the derived measure (percent complete).
