Technical Performance Measures (TPMs) are metrics used in project management to keep track of the technical parts of a project. They are used to measure how well the technical parts of a project, like software development, system design, and hardware engineering, work. TPMs are used to make sure a project is on the right track and that its technical goals are being met.
Some examples of technical performance measures are the following:
- Defect Density: This is a way to measure how many bugs are in the project deliverables, like software code or hardware parts, per unit of measurement, like lines of code or parts.
- Requirements Coverage: This shows how many of the project’s requirements have been tested and proven to work.
- System Performance: This measures how well a system or part works, like how fast it works, how much memory it uses, or how much data it can move.
- Cycle time is the amount of time it takes to finish a task or product.
- Resource Utilization: This is how well resources like people, equipment, and materials are being used.
TPMs are an important tool for project managers to use to track technical progress, find problems, and make the necessary changes to keep the project on track. By measuring how well technical things work, project managers can find possible risks and take steps to fix them.
