1 Enhancing Cost Estimation Models with Task Assignment Information

Team task assignments appear to have a significant potential impact on the overall success of a project. For example, it is frequently necessary for an individual to work concurrently on a number of different tasks. Conversely, it is also frequently necessary for several individuals to work together on the same task. In previous work, we examined the relationship between task assignments and overall project effort. In this paper, we propose adjustment factors based on task assignment patterns that can be used to tune existing cost estimation models. We show significant improvements in the predictive abilities of both COCOMO I and II by enhancing them with these factors.
