Metrics efforts are often impeded by factors such as poor data quality and developer resistance. To better understand and thus to address the developer perspective in a metrics program we undertook a case study at a large multi-national corporation. We identified six projects, and conducted surveys of both project managers and developers. These surveys were based on the Metrics Acceptance Model (MAM) which is a framework (i.e. a model of relationships between factors, operationalized by a survey instrument) for gauging developer opinions toward software metrics. We noticed some interesting differences between developers' and managers' perceptions of metrics. While managers were on the same page as developers when it came to factors such as ease of use of the metrics tool, they over-estimated developers' confidence to report accurate measures. Managers under-estimated developers' beliefs about the usefulness of metrics and about their fear of adverse consequences. These findings suggest that the MAM could provide useful insights to project managers to train and motivate their developers. We also found that the MAM can be an effective diagnostic tool both at an organizational and project level to identify potential impediments in metrics programs.
