Many organizations have started to change their working process from plan-driven to agile in order to leverage the benefits of agile transformation, so it is frequently discussed how adopting agile methodologies affect software organizations. Measuring effects of agile transformation is important in terms of evaluating and understanding to what extent agile methods contribute to software organizations. This study describes a set of information needs and metrics that are designed to measure the effects of agile transformation in a medium-sized software organization that has been going through agile transformation. While defining the base of measurement, firstly related studies in literature are examined, and metrics derived from these studies are grouped by the measured entities of business, process, product and resource. The information needs for measuring effects of agile transformation are determined by the guidance of ISO 15939 standard for Software Measurement Process, and then are correlated with the metrics compiled from the literature. As a result, information indicators (graphs, tables etc.) and associated measurement constructs (derived and base metrics, measurement functions etc.) that enable measuring impacts of agile transformation are described from business, process, product and resource perspectives. In our future work, we plan to measure the effects of agile transformation in the software organization using these information needs. We hope that our measurement design will be guide not only for the software company we work with, but also for many other organizations who adopt agile transformation.
