Towards a performance measurement reference model for software product management

The success of any software company heavily depends on the quality and performance of its product management. Several researchers have focused on identifying and describing best-practice reference processes for software product management (SPM). Performance measurement is a pre-condition for process excellence. Therefore, it is crucial to establish an appropriate performance measurement for SPM. In this paper, we present our ongoing work with the goal of establishing performance measurement reference models for software product management.
