The GMD Working Group is one of the CHAOSS working groups, tasked with defining useful metrics relevant for the analysis of software development projects from the point of view of
GMD (growth-maturity-decline). It also works in the areas of risk and value. For all of them, we’re intending to follow the same process to produce metrics, similar to what other CHAOSS working groups are doing. This post describes this process, that we have recently
completed for the first metric (many others should follow during the next weeks).
