Analytics for software development
Despite large volumes of data and many types of metrics, software projects continue to be difficult to predict and risky to conduct. In this paper we propose software analytics wh...

On Restaurants and Requirements: How Requirements Engineering may be Facilitated by Scripts
Requirements engineering is a central part of software projects. It is assumed that two third of all errors in software projects are caused by forgotten requirements or mutual misu...

Scheduling Software Projects to Minimize the Development Time and Cost with a Given Staff
A probabilistic scheduling model for software projects is presented. The model explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. When the scheduling strategy is fixed, the model ou...

Using Process Simulation to Compare Scheduling Strategies for Software Projects
We present a discrete simulation model for software projects which explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. The model represents varying staff skill levels, component coup...
