I just finished Six Sigma Black belt training a month back and barely passed the exam. I was not so confident but quite influenced with this management tool for problem solving. Mr. David from QAI did an excellent job in 3rd round of 4 days training to revisit the fundamental and advance concepts  with good examples and raising our application IQ significantly up ( in statistics term: p value < 5%). Most memorable of all was the I-MR charts for individuals, staging, use of MiniTAB to do all that. There was another  interesting  aspect which was TRIZ, but i guess it requres more than just 4 hours of exposure and a workshop with more hands on approach.

Why we need measurement for Software projects size

We need it because it is used at number of other calculations to capture project performance and at higher level reflects into organization’s performance for operations. It is like asking a factory how many units do you produce in a day for set number of labor. Examples of derived performance measurements are: defects per unit size, efforts spent per unit size of project, Cost spent per unit size of project. Then these are used also later on to arrive at costs for new projects.
