  Agile software development (ASD) methods were introduced as a reaction to
traditional software development methods. Principles of these methods are
different from traditional methods and so there are some different processes
and activities in agile methods comparing to traditional methods. Thus ASD
methods require different measurement practices comparing to traditional
methods. Agile teams often do their projects in the simplest and most effective
way so, measurement practices in agile methods are more important than
traditional methods, because lack of appropriate and effective measurement
practices, will increase risk of project. The aims of this paper are
investigation on current measurement practices in ASD methods, collecting them
together in one study and also reviewing agile version of Common Software
Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC) publication.
