The metrics are organized by application functionality, technology and
software component to allow the observer to isolate behavior and help
identify where quality and stability problems may lie. Ultimately the stakeholders can more clearly assess the presence of
deployment risks and enables them to make the best informed judgment
for deployment strategies.
This approach moves project teams to a method of rigor in readiness
reporting that avoids the situation where the stakeholder is making
deployment decisions based on unclear metrics or anecdotal information.
