Government procured multi-vendor software development projects can use project measurement based on empirical software engineering concepts to measure progress and guide project management. This paper reports on experimental use of multi-dimensional project measurement and feedback in a consortium-based development project. The paper describes measurement functions, analyses, and intermediate results from the project. Two empirical software engineering research and investigation organizations, the Empirical Approach to Software Engineering (EASE) project and the Software Engineering Center (SEC) Japan are conducting the experiment, supported by the government. The target of the development project is an experimental Probe Information Platform for automotive information in the field of Public Information Systems. The trial suggests that multi-dimensional measurements along with the empirical concept are highly useful for projects using the consortium method with no main contractor.
