Generate questions (based on models) that define those goals as completely as possible in a quantifiable way 3. Specify the measures needed to be collected to answer those questions and track process and product conformance to the goals 4. Develop mechanisms for data collection 5. Collect, validate and analyze the data in real time to provide feedback to projects for corrective action 6. Analyze the data in a post mortem fashion to assess conformance to the goals and to make recommendations for future improvements
