Software Measurement
Pan Metron can help you to choose and implement the right measures for your business.
Software measurement methods have evolved and improved to keep up with the new types of software and software development techniques. As software size is arguably the most important determinant of the cost it is no surprise that the three most commonly used sizing methodologies have become international standards: IFPUG (ISO/IEC 20926), COSMIC-FFP (ISO/IEC 19761) and MkII (ISO/IEC 20968). Even before any software is created high-level business requirements can be assessed to provide an estimated functional size. Together with productivity rates for the planned development environment functional size estimates can be used to predict project effort, cost and likely duration. Increasingly organisations are using functional sizing measures in Contract Management control and negotiation and as an integral part of programmes deploying industry best practice models and frameworks such the CMMI® and ITIL®. - Do you have meaningful up-to-date metrics data that can be trusted? - How does your software development productivity compare internally across sites? - How does it compare in general, against that of industry peers? - Which software sizing methodology drives your measurement process? - Does your measurement process provide a sound basis to make informed decisions? Without objective data you are just another person with an opinion! Pan Metron offers data collection, analysis, benchmarking and performance reporting services in the form of coaching, training, tools, consulting and audits to enhance your existing estimating, measurement and benchmarking capabilities.
