Abstract
This paper presents a survey about use of quantitative management indicators in a Japanese software development organization. This survey is conducted in order to investigate possible criteria for selecting and customizing organizational standard indicators according to the context of each project. Based on results of the survey, we propose a process tailoring support system that is mainly focusing to quantitative management planning. The system EPDG+ (Electronic Process Data Guidebook Plus) helps project planners select / customize indicators to be employed in process control. Derived software project plans including measurement and analysis activities can be browsed in detail with this system.
