Organizational benchmarking using the ISBSG data repository

In 1999, an organization contributed a large group of enhancement projects to the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group's Data Repositor y. The contributing organization received an individual benchmark report fo r each project, comparing it to the most relevant projects in the repositor y. The ISBSG also performed an organizational benchmarking exercise that co mpared the organization's set of 60 projects as a whole to the repository a s a whole. The benchmarking exercise aimed to provide valuable information to the organization and to measure the exercise's effectiveness given the r epository's anonymous-nature.
