The Project Measurements artifact provides the storage for the project's measurement data. It is kept current as
measurements are made, or become, available. It also contains the derived measures that are calculated from the base
measures and should also store information (procedures and algorithms, for example) about how the derived measures are
obtained. Reports on the status of the project, for example, progress towards goals (functionality, quality, and so
on), expenditures, and other resource consumption, are produced using the project measurements (see Artifact: Status Assessment). More frequent, or even apparently
continuous, displays of project status are possible using tools where automated software data collection agents feed
real-time displays of project status.
