Issues of Implementing the Analogy-based Effort Estimation in a Large IT Company
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analogy-based estimation seems be a very promising estimation methods. A large Norwegian IT consulting company is going to use analogy-based method for further effort estimation. Thus, a historical project database must be built. Several issues have come up when discussing the feasibility of building such a project database. One challenging issue is which projects should be involved in the database and how to classify these projects? Another issue is which project features should be measured and how to use these features for further analogy-based effort estimation. The position paper investigates these issues and proposes solutions for discussions.

One of the risks distinguishes urban projects from other projects is to purchase of property obstacles. The matter is of more significance in large projects. Issues with regard to possessing property obstacles, lack of accurate layout drawings for underground facilities and following probable changes in designs make it vital to have specific studies on risk management of such projects. So thi...
