The goal of the EDRM Metrics project is to provide a standard approach and generally accepted language for measuring the full range of electronic discovery activities. The Metrics project follows the electronic discovery process described in the Electronic Discovery Reference Model: identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analysis, and production. For each stage of the process, the Metrics project will offer guidelines for how to measure associated costs, time and volumes.

The specific goals of the EDRM Metrics 2 Project are:

• Complete the EDRM Metrics Model
• Develop documentations
• Develop tracking and reporting protocols
• Promote the adoption and use of EDRM Metrics measuring tools to track electronic discovery activities
• Research collection and collation of metrics data
• Research promotion of the analysis of metrics data collected

Anticipated deliverables include:

• EDRM Metrics Model
• Documentation
  • Recommendations on how to measure
  • Value propositions
  • White paper on collection and reporting metrics data
• Adoption Plan
