For many software projects a project manager can assist the team to create successful estimates by using sound techniques and understanding about what makes estimate more accurate. Staff required for a project estimation are taken from a pool of people who has some prior knowledge of the domain in which the new project is being developed. Cost estimation in software engineering is typically concerned with the financial spend on the effort to develop and test the software, this can also include requirements review, maintenance, training, managing and buying extra equipment, servers and software. Many methods have been developed for estimating software costs for a given project.

The goal of most software development and software engineering projects is to be distinctive—often through new features, more efficiency, or exploiting advancements in software engineering. Any software project executive will agree that the pursuit of such opportunities cannot move forward without risk. Because risks are painfully real. Staffing Level Estimation In Software Engineering Professional Organizations Of These estimates are needed before development is initiated, as they establish the cost and schedule goals of the project.

Methods[edit]

Methods for estimation in software engineering include these principles:

Staffing Level Estimation In Software Engineering 6th Edition

  • The Planning Game (from Extreme Programming)
  • ITK method, also known as Method CETIN
  • Proxy-based estimating (PROBE) (from the Personal Software Process)
  • Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
  • Putnam_model, also known as SLIM
  • PRICE Systems Founders of Commercial Parametric models that estimates the scope, cost, effort and schedule for software projects.
  • SEER-SEM Parametric Estimation of Effort, Schedule, Cost, Risk. Minimum time and staffing concepts based on Brooks's law
  • Weighted Micro Function Points (WMFP)

Most cost software development estimation techniques involve estimating or measuring software size first and then applying some knowledge of historical of cost per unit of size. Software size is typically sized in SLOC, Function Point or Agile story points.
