Project size, as measured by the amount of investment required, is a relevant parameter to be used in project selection. The evaluation of a project portfolio must consider the variety of project sizes that may be met, so that a proper model should be adopted to describe that variety, especially for its use in simulation. In this paper, a log-normal probability model is suggested to describe the dispersion...
The selection criteria and weights determining of performance indicators are difficult problems for engineering project performance evaluation. This paper introduces the quality function deployment method to engineering project performance evaluation and as well establishes the multi-stage model of house of quality. It starts with the survey which aims at finding out the demand from external customers...
Developers take notes about their work sessions, either to remember the work status and share it with collaborators, or because employers explicitly require this for project management matters. We report on an exploratory study which aims at understanding how software developers describe their work. We analyzed more than 750,000 work descriptions of about 2,000 professionals taken over 8 years in...
The following paper presents the experience gained from a large scale software migration project.It describes how the migration strategy was selected and how the project was planned. It emphasizes the importance of keeping the costs as low as possible. It then goes on to outline the methods and techniques used in the migration with special emphasis on the migration process. After that, it deals with...
During the last years value engineering has become a usable method for assessing, developing and improving high value products. It has also been used as a basis for assessing and improving value in software processes. In complex and highly competed markets information of assessed and planned value might not always be enough, because development of high value products contains also several risks. These...
