Process Improvement ( SPI ) : Modeling Return on Investment ( ROI )
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this article is to exhibit metrics and models for estimating return on investment (ROI) of software process improvement (SPI). Additionally, this article is designed to show software managers and engineers: 1) how to estimate ROI early, quickly, and accurately, 2) how to maximize ROI using total life cycle costs, and 3) how to estimate ROI for Inspections, Personal Software Process (PSP), Team Software Process (TSP), Software Capability Maturity Model (SWCMM), ISO 9001, and CMM Integration (CMMI). While, this article draws upon authoritative sources of data for estimating ROI and exhibits relevant approximations of ROI, it is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of ROI data in of itself. (This article is exemplified by the powerful combination of late-breaking research in cost and benefit analysis for SPI “and” scholarly methods in ROI analysis.)
