Accurate Estimations
/in sizingRealistic and accurate estimations play an important role in the success of a project. Historical software project data supports accuracy.
Productivity and Software Size
/in productivityAn examination on the effect of: project size on productivity and the effort spent on phases of the project lifecycle. Agile projects are considered.
Reduce Project Costs
/in sizingThe use of accurate software measurement and benchmarking is shown to be a significant way to save project costs.
Cosmic Benchmarking and Estimation
/in sizingThis presentation discusses the benefits of using Cosmic function points for the benchmarking and measurement of software projects.
Agile Team Effort
/in agileThis addresses why agile development teams should ignore estimates and focus on development tasks. New strategies should also be adopted.
Agile Benchmarking
/in agileA summarization of Agile studies is presented: 016 benchmarking results, Agile adoption, Agile and CMMI, Agile scaling and building an Agile culture.
Software Costs Versus Rates
/in project controlShow the main conclusions from the Cost per Function Point vs Rates studies carried out by LEDAmc. Quality performance vs productivity indicators in two real scenarios, are discussed.
Software Data Collection
/in project controlThis presentation expands the definition of software data and its scope. It also discusses the needs of next generation IT projects.
Estimation Improvement
/in estimationA large proportion of software projects are delivered over-budget and behind time. Accurate project estimations are needed to overcome this issue.
Cloud Solutions
/in project controlThis presentation explores cloud computing and cloud solutions. It provides: an overview of the implications and costs of migration to the cloud and it uses a case study to demonstrate migration of the ‘same’ capability in each of the three cloud solution scenarios.
IoT Measurement and Estimation
/in estimationA discussion of IoT frameworks, adopting a customer-driven approach and cost estimation.
Cloud Costing
/in project controlAn in-depth analysis of cloud-based computing. It includes: cloud total ownership costing, consideration of technologies, costs and benefits.
Data-Driven Cost Estimation
/in estimationThis presentation examines the impact of private and public industry data on cost estimation of software projects.
Agile Velocity
/in agileThis talk explains how the ISBSG database can be used to determine velocity in terms of size, based on the story points assigned to story cards. No additional metrics are needed except some automated COSMIC counting. The approach uses the powerful concept of transfer functions, and also the Buglione-Trudel matrix for determining story cards priorities.
Software Data Estimates
/in estimationThis paper chronicles a journey that PRICE Systems has traveled with an Army customer to develop and institutionalize a process for the collection and application of historical cost data for software projects. Price is now armed with the right tools and processes to deliver defendable, credible estimates to their program office.
