Abstract
This chapter gives some insights into typical industrial challenges addressed by GQM+Strategies and highlights some industrial real-life applications of the approach. First, we will focus on typical usage scenarios and real-life challenges addressed by the different domains where the approach has actually been applied. After that, we will take a closer look at the specific challenges and industrial needs of IT and software development companies as this was defined as the initial focus and starting point of the GQM+Strategies approach. Finally, we will present three industrial cases in which the approach was applied:
