Abstract

In our civilized world today, measurement is very important in every aspect of our lives as a means of quantifying our success or progress in whatever activity we involve ourselves in. Consequently, this paper outlines the various metrics that are utilized in the Agile development process and compares them with the ones used in time past to measure success and progress.
