Assignment Approaches

Depending on the size and scope of the project, the measurement team can be a part-time analyst or a multi-person team. In either case, the primary measurement responsibility for the project must be assigned to a specific individual, and that individual must interface directly with the project development organization.

In a small team, the Measurement Analyst role and the Project Manager roles may be performed by the same person.
