PA4.1 Quantitative Analysis Process

• A1 Process information needs in support of relevant defined quantitative business goals are established.
• A2 Measurable relationships between process elements (Element = The term Element is a collective term for virtual or physical objects on architecture, design, and verification level on the left and right side of the "V-Model".
  An architecture specifies the elements of the system. Elements are hierarchically decomposed into smaller elements down to the components which are at the lowest level of the architecture.) that contribute to the process performance, and data collection techniques and data collection frequency, are identified.
• A3 Process measurement (Measurement = The activity to find the size, quantity or degree of something.) objectives are derived from process information needs.
• A4 Techniques for analyzing the collected data are selected.
• A5 Quantitative control limits for process performance in support of relevant business goals are established.
• A6 Results of measurement (Measurement = The activity to find the size, quantity or degree of something.) are collected, validated and reported in order to monitor the extent to which the quantitative targets/objectives for process performance are met.
  Note: Information needs typically reflect management, technical, project, process or product needs.
