Integrating the Balanced Scorecards in RSEB

This paper presents a technique to employ a metric system to guide the application of a software production business environment. Software production companies face increasing competition, upgrade in user expectations, and complexity growth more than most other companies. Many different techniques and methodologies have been conceived to cope with this problem. The software science is relatively new in the scientific panorama, and so are software engineering methods. Nevertheless, software engineering is gaining wider industrial acceptance, as “programming in the large” projects require coordinated efforts of hundredths of man-years. Organizations no longer see a single software product as a strategic objective. Rather, they try to capitalize on the experience gained from preceding project. It is still unclear, though, what experience capitalization is for software firms. The notions of Application Domain and Domain Engineering and the increasing emphasis on software component reuse suggest that the software itself and the production byproducts such as internal libraries are valuable assets besides the final product (Arango, 1993). Many business techniques and software engineering methodologies focus on this idea.
