Estimating Software Costs
/in estimationThe presentation describes capabilities and capability-based planning. Discussed are the challenges in software cost estimation and how capability-based cost estimation models for software differ throughout the life cycle. I conclude with a summary methodology to develop a capability-based cost estimation for software, which is to define capability groups with similar software functions and associated effort ranges.
Agile Metrics and the Impact of Team Size
/in agileA study of agile projects in the ISBSG dataset that included metrics such as the number of sprints/iterations and sprint/iteration length was done. This resulted in a normalized velocity metric (FPs Per Sprint Week/Person) that could be used to for benchmarking purposes. This metric, along with team size could be used to examine the productivity changes with different team sizes.
Analysis of Practical Software Project Estimation
/in estimationLearn how Project Delivery Rate can be estimated using software and team sizes, using the ISBSG book, “Practical Software Project Estimation”.
Monitoring Agile Development
/in agileCreate new functionality, enhance existing functionality, remove technical debt, compensate respective effort in a controlled, measurable way.
Analysis of Project Size per Year
/in sizingThis short paper examines whether there have been more New Development or Enhancement type projects submitted to the ISBSG Repository. It investigates whether the median project size for these projects has increased or decreased over time.
Analysis of Maintenance and Support Productivity
/in maintenance and support, productivityThe short paper analyses the effort spent on general and specific software maintenance and support activities.
Benchmark Report
/in benchmarkingHow would you like to have your project’s productivity benchmarked against the ISBSG Repository? This short paper explains how you can receive a free benchmark report, when you submit project data to the ISBSG repository.
Analysis of Application Groups
/in productivityThis short paper compares the productivity of projects that have different application types, from the ISBSG Repository. The application types are: Business Applications, Real-Time Applications, Mathematically-Intensive Application and Infrastructure Software.
ITIL4 Guiding Principles
/in project controlITIL4 has 7 recommendations to improving services. They are relevant for all businesses. Use real-life examples to apply these principles from a measurement perspective .
Practical Applications of ISBSG Data
/in estimationHarold Van Heeringen has extensively used ISBSG Data as a benchmarking tool for client organizations.
In this webinar, Harold uses his expertise to demonstrate how ISBSG data (in Excel-format and via the ISBSG Productivity Data Query Tool) can be used to improve estimation and planning.
Analysis of Velocity (Speed of Delivery)
/in agileThe differences between the Agile concept of velocity and the traditional idea of delivery speed is discussed. The results from analyzes of Velocity (Delivery Speed) of recent, Java projects in the ISBSG repository is displayed. In particular, the Delivery Speed of projects within different functional-size groupings is considered.
Re-evaluation of Estimation Study Results using ISBSG Data
/in estimationThis webinar evaluates any differences between replications of research studies that used ISBSG data, to estimate software-effort.
Project Cost per FP
/in productivity‘Cost per Function Point’ is an industry best practice to ensure that both the customer and the supplier benefit from high productivity. This short paper analyzes the cost and functional size of projects from the ISBSG Repository.
CRM Projects
/in project controlThis short paper determines whether there are key factors that influence the productivity and delivery speed of CRM projects.
Legacy Applications
/in project controlThis short paper examines a high-level business case to to rebuild a Cobol legacy application in Java. ISBSG Data, for similar Java projects, provides metrics for: cost, effort, maintenance and support. This information is used as the basis for the business case.
