How to Estimate the Required Size of Agile Teams

team size * duration * blended rate of the team * average hours per team member per month.

  • How can I measure and keep a grip on progress during this time In

This report discusses answers to these questions using international standards, proven cost-engineering techniques and ISBSG data.
