    You're now the second person who has misunderstood the question being asked (see the deleted answer below). Read the last paragraph in the OP, especially the part that says "so that I can present my results to management." Commented Dec 11, 2017 at 19:00
  • @RobertHarvey, perhaps you misunderstood my answer... Don't the metrics collected at the beginning and distilled through analysis provide information to bring to your manager? Perhaps I answered two questions because I feel the same measuring stick to define the starting place should be used to measure progress. Commented Dec 11, 2017 at 19:30
  • The person to whom the OP reports to directly (the one who gave him this assignment) is probably interested in those metrics. It's hard to see how upper management would care at all about them. Commented Dec 11, 2017 at 19:32
  • I didn't see "Upper Management" at all in the question. I saw management, which I understood to mean direct management (i.e. the one assigning this work). I'm confused as to where that came in to the discussion. Commented Dec 11, 2017 at 19:41
  • I've added a comment below the OP asking for clarification. Commented Dec 11, 2017 at 19:42
