Abstract
Software engineering metrics are units of measurement that are used to characterize the software engineering products and processes. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a generic term for integrated systems. ERP projects are a subclass of software projects often accompanied by large-scale organizational changes. One of the major reasons found in the literature for the failure of ERP projects is the poor management of software processes. In this paper, we propose a Software Metrics Plan (SMP) containing different software metrics to manage software processes during ERP implementation. Two hypotheses have been formulated and tested using statistical techniques to validate the SMP. The statistical analysis of the collected data from an ERP project supports the two hypotheses, leading to the conclusion that the software metrics are momentous in ERP projects.
