Introducing Product and Process Visualizations to Support Software Development

Abstract

This thesis studied the development and introduction of a continuous measurement, analysis and visualization system. The system was developed and deployed for use in a multi-team system development project at RUAG Space AB. The focus was on supporting assessment and decision making in daily stand-up group meetings through the use of an information radiator. High-level process and product information was visualized aimed at supporting meetings with participants from different teams. Challenges and guidelines for developing and introducing similar systems are presented.
