About This Item
IEEE P15939/D2, Aug 2008 is an English draft standard for the measurement process used in systems and software engineering. It addresses how measurement activities are defined, applied, and managed so that organizations can collect information with more consistency and purpose. As an adoption of ISO/IEC 15939:2007, it is relevant to computing and processing work where measurement supports planning, control, and evaluation. For teams working with technical metrics, this document helps frame a disciplined approach to measurement.
About IEEE P15939/D2, Aug 2008
IEEE P15939/D2, Aug 2008 focuses on the measurement process that underpins systems and software engineering practice. Its purpose is to support structured collection and use of measurement information, helping organizations define what to measure, how to measure it, and how to interpret results. Because it adopts ISO/IEC 15939:2007, the document is closely tied to international measurement guidance while carrying IEEE identification for procurement, reference, and standards tracking in computing and processing contexts.
Where is IEEE P15939/D2, Aug 2008 used?
This standard is typically used in software development, systems engineering, quality assurance, and process improvement environments where measurement data influences decisions. It may be applied to projects that track size, effort, defects, progress, or performance across engineering workflows. Organizations that manage technical programs, verification activities, or software lifecycle reporting can use IEEE P15939/D2, Aug 2008 as a reference for making measurement practices more consistent and easier to compare across teams or projects.
Importance in practice
In practice, this standard matters because measurement without a defined process can lead to inconsistent data and weak conclusions. IEEE P15939/D2, Aug 2008 supports clearer control over how measurements are planned, collected, analyzed, and reported, which can improve traceability and reduce risk in engineering decisions. It is especially useful when organizations need repeatable metrics for compliance, performance review, or contract-related evaluation. A well-structured measurement process also helps avoid confusion between raw data and meaningful indicators.
