F-35 JPO Software Metrics White Paper

Abstract

This white paper describes the role of metrics in an iterative and incremental delivery of a complex cyber-physical system with software-dominant capabilities. Metrics offer insight into the programs realization of a functioning system as well as the performance of the processes in place. This enables oversight on the performance of the program as it delivers contracted capabilities. Knowledge of pro-gram context, and a shared understanding of the actions and outcomes driving the metrics, enable the insight required. Three specific areas key to incremental delivery are emphasized here: Assessing Progress to Plan, Assessing Quality, and Flow Based Metrics. This third area reflects the influence of Lean and Agile thinking and informs the first two areas.
