Productivity Data Query Tool
/in productivityMaking accurate project estimations can be challenging. Being able to precisely determine project duration, effort and delivery rate are essential for the success of your IT project. The ISBSG Productivity Data Query (PDQ) Tool lets you benchmark your project estimates against similar projects from the IT industry in minutes. This short paper uses a simple example to demonstrate this.
Output Based Contracting
/in project control, recommendedIn this short paper, we explain the way ISBSG data can be used to contract application development teams based on output instead of the usual Time & Materials method.
