    • Delivery
  • Business Management
    • Business Risks
    • Financial Break-even Point
    • ROI/ROA/ROE
  • Process Management
    • Throughput (rate of changes delivered)
    • Cost of Operations
    • Inventory
    • Number of Concurrent Changes
    • Testing Efficiency
  • Product Management
    • Size in KLOCs or Function Points
    • Maintenance and Development
    • Quality/Reliability
    • Pre and Post-Delivery Defects
    • Severity
