PRODUCTIVITY KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION METHOD, SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT MAN-HOUR TARGET DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR EXECUTING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promote development process improvement activity by improving the man-hour estimation accuracy of a software development project (PJ) and facilitating the formation of an agreement with a development site when determining a productivity (man-hour) target.

SOLUTION: A plurality of high-quality and high-productivity model PJs are extracted, and a basic (averaged) productivity model f0(x) and variation of the extracted PJs (magnitude of a productivity gap to f0(x)) are found on the basis of past results productivity data thereof (S102). An experienced person performs factor analysis of the variation of the model PJ to obtain a factor and its weight as PJ characteristics (S103). Productivity knowledge (a standard productivity model f1(x)×a PJ characteristic coefficient c) is determined on the basis of the PJ characteristics and the magnitude of the productivity gap. When estimating the development man-hour target, productivity of the whole development organization is improved by adjustment of the standard productivity model f1(x), and cost management is enabled by adjustment of the PJ characteristic coefficient of the target PJ.
