Software Engineering Management can be defined as the application of management activities-planning, coordinating, measuring, monitoring, controlling, and reporting-to ensure that the development and maintenance of software is systematic, disciplined, and quantified (IEEE610.12-90). The Software Engineering Management KA therefore addresses the management and measurement of software engineering. While measurement is an important aspect of all KAs, it is here that the topic of measurement programs is presented.
