## Overview

Draft CMMI-DEV Measurement and Analysis (MA) deliverables: measurement plan, analysis reports, and measurement repository structure for ML2.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *CMMI-DEV Measurement and Analysis* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We need a measurement plan for our CMMI MA process area. We want to track effort, schedule variance, and defect density. Can you draft the plan and a sample analysis report structure?
>
> **Agent:** I'll draft a Measurement Plan aligned to CMMI MA: measurement objectives (effort, schedule, quality); operational definitions for each measure; data collection (who, when, where); repository structure; and analysis/reporting schedule. I'll also add a one-page analysis report template.
>
> **You:** Add a section on how we use the results for project monitoring.
>
> **Agent:** I've added "Use of results" — how monthly analysis feeds into PMC status reviews and corrective action decisions. The plan is in `measurement-plan.md` and the report template in `analysis-report-template.md`.

## Sample Output Excerpt

### 2. Measures and operational definitions

| Measure | Type | Definition | Unit |
|---------|------|------------|------|
| Actual effort | Base | Labor hours charged to the project per week | hours |
| Schedule variance | Derived | (Planned completion date − Actual/Baseline completion date) for milestones | days |
| Defect density | Derived | Defects found in verification/validation ÷ size (e.g. story points or KLOC) | defects/unit |

### 3. Data collection and storage

- **Actual effort:** Collected weekly from timesheet system; stored in measurement repository with project ID, week, and phase.
- **Schedule variance:** Computed at milestone completion; stored with milestone ID and date.
- **Defect density:** Defects from defect tracking; size from backlog/source; computed per release or phase.
