Ultimately, measuring performance in agile teams is about: supporting continuous improvement, making informed decisions, ensuring value delivery and fostering a collaborative and learning-oriented culture. By correctly using the right metrics, organizations can empower their agile teams to thrive and deliver exceptional results.
There are two fundamental approaches to support software project’s effort and cost estimation: parametric cost models and analogy-based processes. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a planning tool, often poorly used to support such crucial needs. We must clearly identify, in the WBS, the activities covered by the parametric models and those should be estimated as a result of the expert judgement. The presentation will focus on analyzing these aspects by presenting good and bad practices in the use of these support techniques.
While traditional performance metrics often measure individual output or adherence to pre-defined plans, measuring performance in agile teams requires a different approach. Agile teams operate in iterative cycles, prioritizing adaptability and learning over rigid goals. Organizations still measure their performance for the following reasons: transparency and communication, learning and continuous improvement and ensuring value delivery.
Is the Project Delivery Rate (PDR) and Productivity the same measure? Are the values unique for all projects? What are the main drivers used to determine an appropriate value for PDR and Productivity so they provide a reference range of values?
The IFPUG AD/M (Application Development and Maintenance) Benchmarking Certification ensures that benchmarking service providers meets the necessary requirements to perform an AD/M benchmark analysis. This certification evaluates the provider’s competency by examining evidence and criteria established in accordance with ISO/IEC 29155 tasks and activities. This webinar introduces the new CEPAS SCH174 certification exam (Measurement Specialist), illustrates the development of ‘maturity models’ and discusses the People CMM with measurement suggestions and KPIs for better HR asset management.

Harold 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.
This webinar evaluates any differences between replications of research studies that used ISBSG data, to estimate software-effort.
Data is a valuable project asset. It guides project estimation, team performance measurement, vendor contracting and benchmarking. Discover how data can be used to improve the IT processes of your organization.
