Overview:

As we muse on what 'new metrics' apply in the ever-changing world of software, we should also be asking ourselves the more basic question, "What will we do with metrics?". Many organizations don't have the basics down before they pile on measure after measure.
With all of the new technologies and buzzwords in the computer field, one might wonder why American Programmer returns to fundamental topics -- peopleware, project management, and the like -- so often. One reason is that our industry still isn't doing a very good job at the fundamentals, and another reason is that there always seems to be something new to say about them. Such is the case with software metrics: it's been nearly two years since we last covered the topic, and there are indeed some interesting new things to say.
