Software project measurement based on the 5P model.

A software project measurement model plays a crucial role in assessing, monitoring, and improving software development processes and product quality. However, existing models often focus on localized optimization, limiting their effectiveness. This study introduces the 5P model to software project measurement, aiming to achieve global optimization and control. The article presents a conceptual overview of the 5P model and a detailed illustration of its steps using a real development process. By adopting a system thinking approach, the proposed model enables global optimization by aligning project objectives, product outcomes, and stakeholders' needs. Three feedback loops are utilized to ensure the alignment of project purposes, performance measurement, and stakeholder requirements. The 5P model provides transparent metrics, enabling stakeholders to track progress and make informed decisions. Results confirm the model's significant value in software project measurement, facilitating improved project outcomes and stakeholder satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
