Aims to [see page 3, measure] the progress or quality of a software project. Why? You can't control what you can't measure.

  • Metric: A quantitative measure of the degree to which a product or process possesses a given attribute. This isn't directly measurable but calculated using different measures.

In general use measures to obtain metrics.
