Finally! Accurate software estimates and schedules!

More projects are doomed by poor cost and schedule estimates than anything else. But it doesn't have to be that way. This book presents powerful, scientific techniques for confidently producing―and defending―accurate software development estimates and schedules.

Leading software costing experts William H. Roetzheim and Reyna A. Beasley walk through every form of estimating: high-level estimates for feasibility planning; function-oriented estimates for procurement; and implementation-oriented estimates based on detailed designs.

Discover better ways to measure lines of code and function points; new GUI and object metrics; and how to take advantage of “top down” and “bottom up” methods for smaller projects. Learn how to create outputs that include:

  • Lifecycle costs, including maintenance and support.
  • Staffing profiles.
  • Cost broken down by phase and activity.
  • Project risk profiles, and much more.

You also get free evaluation copies of three world-class Windows-based software estimating and scheduling tools: Cost•Expert™, Risk•Expert™ and Strategy•Expert™. Calibrated using over 2,000 real-world projects, these tools can predict costs within 5%!

If you're a software engineer, developer, or manager, these tools and techniques will help you confidently predict what you'll need―and deliver what you promise!
