*(Measurement and Analysis)
Article: (MA) How to apply CMMI Measurement and Analysis (MA) in my organization as per CMMI? by Rajendra Khare
http://www.cmmiconsultantblog.com - Measurement and Analysis (MA) process area is available at CMMI Maturity Level 2 under the Support category.
The primary objective of CMMI Measurement and Analysis (MA) Process Area is to develop the practice of fact-based decision making. The decision can be based on facts only when the key performance results are available to take a rational and objective decision. CMMI Measurement and Analysis Process Area helps in the development and maintaining a repository of Performance Measurement Data in the organization. This repository helps in the better control of critical project parameters like – schedule, effort, cost, defects,cost of quality, etc. It also helps in mid-course correction when the project is going off-track on key performance parameters.
Article: (MA) Planning for Measurement by The Software Engineering Institute (SEI)
https://seir.sei.cmu.edu - There are probably so many things in your organization to measure that you could easily become overwhelmed by the opportunities. But for measurement to be effective, it must be designed and targeted to support your business goals. To begin planning your measurement activities, ask yourself "What do I want to know or learn?"

Atricle: (MA) Introducing CMMI Measurement and Analysis Practices into Scrum-based Software Development Process by Viljan Mahnic and Natasa Zabkar
http://www.naun.org - I. INTRODUCTION UMEROUS agile methods [1] have appeared in the last decade that – in contrast to disciplined approach advocated by the quality models like CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration [7]) – value individuals and interactions over processes and tools, working software over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan [16].
Presentation: (MA) Best Practices in Measurement for Process Improvement by Dr. Joyce Statz
https://seir.sei.cmu.edu - Practical Software and Systems Measurement guidance program funded by DoD for more than a decade, augmented by volunteer efforts of people in more than 50 organizations focused on project-level measurement; extensible to other areas uses a systematic measurement process which is the basis for CMMI Measurement and Analysis and ISO 15939 international standard on software measurement provides best practice examples of measurement specifications, indicators/graphs, case studies, tools and specific guidance (plug-in for RUP, PSM Insight tool, ES tool for collecting object-oriented design measures for Java and C++, enterprise measurement report, experience reports and more)

Presentation: (MA) A Simple Process Performance Model by James D. McHale
https://seir.sei.cmu.edu - Subtitle: The Advantage of High-Maturity Thinking in a Lower-Maturity Organization Fallacy: Any time spent on the higher maturity level practices while attempting to achieve CMMI ML2 or ML3 is, by definition, wasted effort.
Radical Thought #1: Any time spent implementing policies and practices at ML2 and ML3 that does not support the higher maturity level CMMI practices violates the intent of the model.
