Title :
Lies, Damned Lies and Software Metrics
Abstract :
Software metrics are not widely used and trusted, especially by senior IT management. We should not be surprised at this given that much that much published material is worthless, even dangerous. This talk is designed to alert everyone to the wide range of reasons for this state of affairs. I recommend several practical, simple steps to raise the level of professionalism, which is vital if software metrics are to be taken more seriously.
