Why should I be involved?
As a software development professional you know first hand how quickly software development methods and processes change. Innovative methods, cutting edge technologies and new processes all claim great gains in productivity and project success rates. Yet by the time even small amounts of data have been analyzed to prove or disprove an innovation technology has moved on.
Our goal is to invite as many software development professionals including project managers, architects, team leads and developers, to
- add case studies and measurements from completed projects
- take part in discussions of current and future models, processes, and statistical analyses
- discuss trends
- promote best practices
We believe that the community has an interest in understanding the cost drivers, the correlations, and the efficiencies of new and emerging processes.
This initiative is not designed as an academic research project – though we hope that it will be used for many studies. Nor is it designed to collect data for commercial use – though we hope commercial software development companies will use it. Rather we want this to be a community of software development professionals creating a collaborative open data repository of software project measurements and a forum of discussions.

What are the benefits?
By contributing in one or more areas at www.QPMWiki.org, you will be part of an exciting community discussing topics of your interest. You will help advancing the project management body of knowledge. In return you will gain more insight and knowledge from other community members which you will be able to apply immediately.
Wiki and Open Data
Our initiative is based on Wiki and open data. The Wiki will allow the community collaborative authoring. Open Data is the bases of the measurement and project data initative to make them available throughout the community.
