Authors. 330 $aAligning an organization?s goals and strategies requires specifying their rationales and connections so that the links are explicit and allow for analytic reasoning about what is successful and where improvement is necessary. This book provides guidance on how to achieve this alignment, how to monitor the success of goals and strategies and use measurement to recognize potential failures, and how to close alignment gaps. It uses the GQM+Strategies approach, which provides concepts and actionable steps for creating the link between goals and strategies across an organization and allows for measurement-based decision-making. After outlining the general motivation for organizational alignment through measurement, the GQM+Strategies approach is described concisely, with a focus on the basic model that is created and the process for creating and using this model. The recommended steps of all six phases of the process are then described in detail with the help of a comprehensive application example. Finally, the industrial challenges addressed by the method and cases of its application in industry are presented, and the relations to other approaches, such as Balanced Scorecard, are described. The book concludes with supplementary material, such as checklists and guidelines, to support the application of the method. This book is aimed at organization leaders, managers, decision makers, and other professionals interested in aligning their organization?s goals and strategies and establishing an efficient strategic measurement program. It is also interesting for academic researchers looking for mechanisms to integrate their research results into organizational environments. 410 0$aThe Fraunhofer IESE Series on Software and Systems Engineering,$x2193-8199 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aManagement information systems 606 $aComputer science 606 $aProject management 606 $aSoftware Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14029 606 $aManagement of Computing and Information Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24067 606 $aProject Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515020 606 $aSoftware Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522050 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aManagement information systems. 615 0$aComputer science. 615 0$aProject management. 615 14$aSoftware Engineering. 615 24$aManagement of Computing and Information Systems. 615 24$aProject Management. 615 24$aSoftware Management. 676 $a005.1068 700 $aBasili$b Victor$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$025825 702 $aTrendowicz$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aKowalczyk$b Martin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHeidrich$b Jens$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSeaman$b Carolyn$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMünch$b Jürgen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRombach$b Dieter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298983403321 996 $aAligning Organizations Through Measurement$92281731 997 $aUNINA
