Project Management of Estimation, Planning and Tracking

Rima Debnath | Dr. Amit Asthana

Abstract: Software engineering is the discipline which is the road map for development of software within the given schedule and effort and with the desired quality. The process begins with estimating the size, effort and time required for the development of the software and ends with the product and other work products built in different phases of development. The technique uses different parameters for estimation. For the estimates to be accurate, these parameters needs to be satisfied with the organizations' past projects' experience, failing to which leads to wrong estimates and consequently results in software crisis. The tools available for automating some of the activities are great help in the whole development process. Tools isolate the process of estimation, planning & tracking. Secondly Software Engineering is a still the metrics introduced for quantifying the attributes of software are not sufficient enough to the judgment. The goal of the thesis is to develop a web based tool for integrating the estimation (using COCOMO II model), planning & tracking process. The emphasis of the calibration process is to combine experts' judgments and organization's past projects' experience.
