Measuring software engineering productivity can significantly enhance managerial decision-making, improve developer enablement, and optimize development workflows. However, despite the potential benefits, there is no uniform approach in industry or research. We present our solution, which is designed to use quantitative data generated during the development process. We gather data from popular software development tools, looking further then simply using the oversimplified source lines of code metric. Using the data, we create a composite index, visualize the results across a range of newly developed projects, and report on potential pitfalls and misconceptions.

Target Audience: Decision Makers, Project Managers, Project Leaders, Developers

If you ship a software product that includes open-source software, (1) you need to make sure it does not include unwanted open source code, (2) you need to declare its software bill of materials, (3) you need to create and deliver correct legal notices, and (4) you need to monitor security vulnerabilities of your current and past shipped code. Ignore these requirements, and you risk being sued by copyright trolls or get embarrassed by irate customers. This tutorial shows you how to get purchasing requirements, open source governance, license compliance, and vulnerability management right.
