The estimation of effort in deployment projects represents an extraordinary challenge. These projects are characterized by being no typical software development, in means of not having a coding. Therefore, general approaches in the range of estimation do not offer an adequate solution. Nevertheless, deployment projects can produce extremely high efforts and costs, like e.g. the company-wide implementation of a reporting system.

 

Differentiation of processes

Throughout the intelligent consideration of all relevant elements including project types, process models, hard facts, soft facts, quality, risk factors and constraints ensures the high estimation accuracy of Cost Xpert's method. This applies also within complex deployment projects. The integrated support of the complete lifecycle based on scientifically published process models and de-facto industry standards up to the accurate mapping of customer specific process models offers an analysis, identification and differentiation of processes. This enables our customers the exact differentiation of development, testing and verification, system integration and deployment. This enables our clients especially in the range of deployment a reliable determination of effort, time, resources and costs including potential risks, defects and documentation page count. Furthermore our customers achieve detailed transparency of process activities and interaction of activities.

 

The systematically application of methods offers solutions for deployment projects:

The achieved transparency through our standardized estimation process offers a solid basis for decisions and planning including continuous controlling and monitoring. Combined with comprehensive analysis and the simulation of scenarios our customers are able to identify the impacts of their decisions up front, even prior making investments.

 

The correct information at the right time and at the proper place.
