Abstract
GQM+Strategies is an extension of the Goal-Question-Metric method that focuses on filling the vertical gaps in organizations in order to facilitate the alignment of levels. In this case study, we applied GQM+Strategies in small software organization to define its metric program. We describe how a set of metrics was devised using this methodology and show the implementation results.
