Description

A lot of whether or not a software project is successful depends on management ability of a software project manager and his/her management office. Therefore, EVA (Earned Value Analysis) has received a lot of attention recently, as a project manager can quantitatively measure/analyze the cost and schedule of a software project by using EVA, and manage them in an integrated fashion. Project manages can estimate SEAC (Schedule Estimate At Completion) and EAC (Estimate At Completion) by using EVA. However, as EVA is a method that any managers can not take into consideration the constraints (e.g. the constraints concerning available periods of each resource, etc.) to take into consideration in case of assigning workers for a software project, there are many cases that SEAC can not be exactly estimated by using EVA. Therefore, the author proposes/discusses a new metric for evaluating exactly the situation of project execution, through combining use of the method to estimate EAC by using EVA and the method to estimate SEAC exactly by taking into consideration the constraints.
