Dick Stutzke presents here a disciplined and repeatable process that can produce accurate and completeestimates for any project, product, or process, no matter how new or unusual. Stutzke doesn't just describe formal techniques: He offers simple, easy-to-use templates, spreadsheets, and tools you can start using today to identify and estimate product size, performance, and quality-as well as project cost, schedule, and risk reserves.Stutzke shows how to quickly 'get your arms around' users' problems & requirements, the structure of a solution, and the process needed to deliver it. You'll learn how to choose the most appropriate estimating techniques & tools; collect accurate data, track progress, and update estimates; and recalibrate estimating models to improve estimation accuracy.Stutzke's techniques apply whether you're creating custom in-house business software, purchasing or customizing 'off-the-shelf' technology, or constructing complex, one-of-a-kind military, industrial, or commercial systems. These techniques apply to small & large projects, and to all project life cycles - from agile to plan-driven. This book will help you plan, estimate, budget, schedule, purchase, design, build, test, deploy, operate, and maintain software-intensive systems. It explains how to size software, identify all cost components, calculate the associated costs, and set a competitive price.An accompanying CD-ROM contains templates, supplemental notes, & MS Excel spreadsheets to estimate & track projects, product characteristics, and processes. It contains an extensive bibliography & links to web resources on software estimation, measurement, and related topics.
