Most useful when you need an independent measurement baseline quickly, but don't have the necessary manpower or skills, this entry-level service lets you quickly and accurately assess productivity and quality in your current software development environment. The QSM software tools used are SLIM and SLIM-Metrics.

QSM will provide professional services including data collection, technical review, assessment, data analysis and a management presentation for your organization. The effort will involve data collection and analysis of software projects that have been completed, or are in-progress and close to completion.

Regular meetings in person or via telephone will be held with your managers or other persons responsible for coordinating the study.
