Software metrics are numerical data related to software development. Metrics strongly support software project management activities. They relate to the four functions of management as follows:

1. Planning - Metrics serve as a basis of cost estimating, training planning, resource planning, scheduling, and budgeting.

2. Organizing - Size and schedule metrics influence a project's organization.

3. Controlling - Metrics are used to status and track software development activities for compliance to plans.

4. Improving - Metrics are used as a tool for process improvement and to identify where improvement efforts should be concentrated and measure the effects of process improvement efforts.
