SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAM FLOW

摘要

A system and method for monitoring software development and project flow in the insurance industry using user stories is disclosed. The system and method include a communication interface that receives information included in communications; a processor and memory to: identify from the monitored communication a plurality of user stories; estimate a priority and assign a value to each story; store each story and associated priority and value as a product backlog; calibrate the difference in the assigned value of each story by comparing each story and the associated assigned value, and iteratively adjusting the assigned value based on the calibrated difference; and update the product backlog of user stories and associated calibrated assigned value; and a display device for displaying the status of the software development and project flow based on the stories remaining in the product backlog as compared to the completed user stories.

1. A system for monitoring software project development, the system comprising:
a communication interface that receives, via one or more networks, information included in communications regarding the project development;a processor and memory that are integrated to:
identify from the information a plurality of user stories for completion during development and a plurality of resources associated with each of the plurality of user stories; estimate a priority of each of the plurality of user stories; assign a value to each of the plurality of user stories, the assigned value representing an amount of effort needed to complete the respective user story; provide a threshold based on the resources and development based on the assigned value; monitor the burndown of each of the plurality of user stories, estimated priority and assigned value in the memory as ones of the plurality of user stories are completed; calibrate a difference in the assigned value of each of the plurality of user stories; and update a product backlog of user stories with the user story's associated calibrated assigned value and adjust resources associated with each of the plurality of user stories in the product backlog; and a display device for displaying the status of the project development based on a plurality of user stories remaining in the product backlog as compared to a plurality of user completed user stories.
