Re: Data Collection for Project Management Statistics

Andy,

Thank you for the comments. I understand your statement about the
solution with out a problem. In this case, I don't know what problems
will come up in the future or what opportunities an analysis may
conjecture. So I would like to collect data which would seem to carry
some information about work processes. Then, when someonw chooses to
study the behavior, there will be an existing set of data to analyse.

CMM suggests that if you must deviate from the given project execution
plan, the deviation should have statistical data to indicate that this
direction has a greater chance of success than some other identifiable
direction. This means that we should have data about our processes.
Since file activities carry some information about processes, it seems
that capturing that data might have some value. Of course such data
would have to be correlated with higher level activities so other
record keeping task cover that aspect.

Yes, auditing at the filesystem level could capture this info. But
due to the features built into TSVN, it looks like it could be done
here at just the right level on information.

Andy, I would like to hear from you further.

Ray
