“…[10]; whether the use of agile methodology actually does agility, and in some way improve the processes and activities of software practitioners? [18]; whether agility is some idealized notion of an adaptive and responsive methodology that makes work unnecessarily difcult and more complicated than it ought to be? [3,5].…”

Research in HCI and CSCW has consistently shown how software design approaches are an abstract idealisation of work practices, raising questions regarding the appropriateness and applicability of what might be considered as 'best practice' or 'doable practice' in project work. Such issues have magnifed the fundamental need for examining exactly how conventional (and generally Western) constructs, approaches and methods, widely adopted in the process of producing and deploying technologies, actually work. The paper reports fndings from a study that seeks to understand the implications for adopting 'well-known' practices for framing, undertaking, and analysis distributed and collaborative software project in the context of Nigeria. Findings show that documenting and analysing what is often considered as 'best practice', supposedly prescriptive maps and scripts for accomplishing work, necessitates considering how they get adopted, interpreted, and extended as 'orderly' and occasionally 'messy' alternatives, ofering some sensitivities for understanding the translocal features and transitional meaning of agile project work.

Measurement is an important field in Software Engineering, since it allows for organizations to obtain trustworthy estimates regarding deadlines, cost, and quality for the development of their software projects. Many tools are available for the calculation and storage of metrics and therefore, choosing the best tool can be a hard task. Faced with such a problem, this study carries out an analysis of the measurement tools presented in literature. The methodology chosen for the task was the systematic literature review. The results of the systematic review present the metric tools chosen in literature, their functionalities, and the main metrics used by these tools. The primary contribution of this article is a list with the metrics used by each of these tools, and their respective classification, according to their use in academia as well as in the software industry.
