In this paper we present a multiple case study on the insights of software organizations into stakeholder satisfaction and (perceived) value of their software projects. Our study is based on the notion that quantifying and qualifying project size, cost, duration, defects, and estimation accuracy needs to be done in relation with stakeholder satisfaction and perceived value. We contrast project metrics...
In this paper, we attempt to understand what contributes to a successful process for managing legacy system evolution. We provide an analysis of a number of key performance indicators such as cost, duration, and defects. By normalizing through function points, we furthermore compare to a larger benchmark. To do so we performed a mixed, retrospective case study on a series of nine software releases...
In this paper we explore opportuni¬ties, challenges, and obstacles that Functional Size Measurement (FSM) experts assume to be in automatically de¬rived functional size, di¬rectly from the software project code itself. We designed a structured survey, that was an-swered by 336 FSM specialists. A majority of the respondents con-sider FSM to be an important tool for decision making. No indications are...
We study whether an assumed positively skewed distribution ofeffort data prevents software estimators to learn over time; leadingto increasing differences between planned and actual effort and adeteriorating (worsening) trend on productivity. We analyze dataof 25 software releases of one application, collected over a periodof six years in a public sector institution in The Netherlands. Westatistically...
A medium-sized west-European telecom company experienced a worsening trend in performance, indicating that the organization did not learn from history, in combination with much time and energy spent on preparation and review of project proposals. In order to create more transparency in the supplier proposal pro-cess a pilot was started on Functional Size Measurement pricing (FSM-pricing). In this...
In this research we aimed to identify distinguishing factors in software releases. For this purpose we analyzed the metrics of 26 software projects. These projects were release-based deliveries from two stable, experienced development teams. During the measurement period both teams transformed from a plan-driven delivery model (waterfall) to an agile approach (Scrum). Overall, we observed that these...
