Deployment is information
The estimation of effort of deployment projects represents an extraordinary challenge. These projects are featured that they are no development in a typical way. This means they have no coding. Because of this 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. 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 and risk factors and constraints ensures the Cost Xpert method the high estimation accuracy, also in the range of 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, therefore this enables our customers the exact differentiation of development, testing and verification, system integration and deployment. This enables our clients specifically 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:
- How can effort, time and resources be estimated?
- Which risks exist and which monetary effect do they have?
- How high are the initial, operating/maintenance costs?
- How can development, testing and verification, system integration and deployment be differentiated?
- How can the needed resources be optimal appointed?
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.
