Software Project Management is an essential practice to successfully achieve goals in software development projects and a challenging task for Project Managers (PMs). Therefore, information about the developers' work can be valuable in supporting the PMs' activities. Several studies address this topic and suggest different strategies for obtaining such information. Given the variety of existing strategies, we need to know the state-ofthe- art on the theme. This article presents the information used for supporting PMs in the application of project management practices, especially with regard to risk management and people management. Thus, we carried out an exploratory study using a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS). Contributions include the identification of 64 metrics, four information sources, and seven PM activities supported by the measurement of the developers' work. Additionally, we interviewed four PMs to collect their personal opinion of how the metrics and activities reported by our SMS could help the project management in practice. Each PM considered a different set of metrics to support their activities, but none of them suggested new metrics (besides the 64 metrics identified in the SMS). Also, we presented aspects to explore the subject, indicating themes for possible new studies in the Software Engineering area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
