Project Management White Papers

The (Almost) Perfect Software Project

Overview Is it possible to successfully plan and manage software development with minimal data? The Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) recommends that four core measures be made on software developments, namely software size, time, effort and defects. So the interesting question is can software development be done with these core measures?The only way to prove the practicality and the benefits is to use the core measures and show the results. The background to the development set out here involves the purchasing department of a Telecommunications Operator (Telecom) who insists that all development proposals be quantified using the core measures.
