Capability of an organization to deliver a quality product within committed timelines & budgets is ever evolving. Each executed project brings in a plethora of information, knowledge and learning which, in turn, helps the organization to assimilate & raise the capability bar on an on-going basis.

C3IT organization firmly believes knowledge not utilized is knowledge lost. Hence, an organization wide process has been put in place to improve the quality & efficiency of delivery with each software project executed by the organization.

• Objectives
  • technical – contribute the technology expertise
  • process – achieving better management results
• Each project - a source of experience
  • collection of Metrics/Indicators/Parameters for establishing capability baseline and control boundaries
  • accumulation of best practices
  • basis for technical case analyses and quantitative project management practice

Quantitative Project Management Practice

“What is not measured can never be improved” – this is the guiding principal for any quality management process. C3IT draws its inspiration from this oft repeated, but seldom followed, statement and has set in place a methodology to measure its performance in an objective manner.

The objectives of the Quantitative Project Management Practice at C3IT are as follows -

• Analysis of aggregated data
  • Software Development Efficiency (Man*Hrs/KSLOC)
  • Productivity (SLOC/Man*Day)
  • Software Defect Density (Defects/KSLOC)
  • Effort Distribution (requirements, design, code, test, documentation, management)
  • Peer Review Efficiency (defect density, coverage rate)
• Establishment of benchmarks (Control boundaries)
• Improvement of future projects predictability
  • Well grounded estimation based on historical results
