Technical Measurement. A Collaborative Project of PSM, INCOSE, and Industry

Abstract

This guide provides information on implementing technical measurement on a project. Technical measurement includes Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs), Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), Measures of Performance (MOPs), and/or Technical Performance Measures (TPMs). The following are short definitions of these terms. They are further defined in the Section 3 of this guide. MOEs are operational measures of success that are closely related to the achievement of mission or operational objectives; i.e., they provide insight into the accomplishment of the mission needs independent of the chosen solution MOPs characterize the physical or functional attributes relating to the system operation; i.e., they provide insight into the performance of the specific system TPMs measure attributes of a system element within the system to determine how well the system or system element is satisfying specified requirements KPPs are a critical subset of the performance parameters representing the most critical capabilities and characteristics.
