[process measurement] "The set of definitions, methods, and activities used to take measurements of a process and its resulting products for the purpose of characterizing and understanding the process." (Sandy Shrum et al, "CMMI: Guidelines for Process Integration and Product Improvement, Second Edition", 2006)
"Measurement is understood as a continuous process during which process metrics are defined and measurement data are collected, analyzed, and evaluated. The objective is to understand, control, and optimize processes, for instance, to improve project control, reduce development effort and cost, or to improve on work products." (Lars Dittmann et al, "Automotive SPICE in Practice", 2008)
[process measurement] "An evaluation of the performance of a system process. A measurement from the system process is compared to determine whether it is below the 'Minimum value' or above the 'Maximum value' of the success criterion for that system process. If so, it is the source of a system event type that is the trigger of another system process to correct the situation." (David C Hay, "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map", 2010)
"Systematically determining or estimating dimension, quantity, and capacity in order to assign value." (Joan C Dessinger, "Fundamentals of Performance Improvement." 3rd Ed, 2012)
"The process of measurement is the act of ascertaining the size, amount, or degree of something. Measurements are the results of the process of measuring." (Laura Sebastian-Coleman, "Measuring Data Quality for Ongoing Improvement ", 2012)
"The process of determining the monetary amounts at which the elements of the financial statements are to be recognised and carried in the balance sheet [statement of financial position] and income statement [statement of comprehensive income]." (Project Management Institute, "The Standard for Program Management 3rd Ed..", 2013)
"(1) An instance of a measurement (a 'data point'). (2) The activity or process of making a measurement; for example, mapping empirical values to numbers or symbols of a measurement scale." (Richard D Stutzke, "Estimating Software-Intensive Systems: Projects, Products, and Processes", 2005)
"The process of assigning a number or category to an entity to describe an attribute of that entity." (ISO 14598)
