M&A Needs

M and A requires you to identify needs:

1. Management needs
2. Technical needs
3. Project needs
4. Process improvement needs
5. Product needs

To start an M and A program, identify what your management requires as measures from the following categories:

a. Schedule & progress
b. Resources & cost
c. Product size & stability
d. Product quality
e. Process Performance
f. Technology Effectiveness
g. Customer Satisfaction

1. Once you have established these measures, you might need to be more granular, may lead to further decomposition of the measure
2. You will have to review the measurements as some of it might not be as useful you might have thought earlier
