one of the most important aspects of software project management is the estimation of cost and time required for running information system. therefore, software managers try to carry estimation based on behavior, properties, and project restrictions. software cost estimation refers to the process of development requirement prediction of software system. various kinds of effort estimation patter...

Information quality (IQ) problems can have severe consequences in the health care sector. Since its inception, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) has recognized the importance of information quality and has implemented a framework designed to evaluate the data quality of the numerous CIHI data holdings. After one year of implementation, a metaevaluation of the CIHI data qualit...

The quality of processes in Software Product Management (SPM) has a high impact on the success of a software product, as it improves product quality and prevents release delays. To improve the SPM practice, we propose the maturity matrix for SPM, a focus area oriented maturity model concentrating on the SPM functions Requirements Management, Product Roadmapping, Release Planning and Requirement...

In our opinion, methods for construction of reliable software are of great importance. Reliability engineering must start in the earliest phases of a software project, and it has to consider not only the architectural level, but should be in the mind of humans even earlier when analyzing the problem space. In a previous paper, we argued that reduction of redundancy of software is a central fact...

In the context of the scope, time, cost, and quality constraints, failure is not uncommon in project management. While small projects have 70% chances of success, large projects virtually have no chance of meeting the quadruple constraints. While there is no dearth of research on project risk management, the manifestation of barriers to project risk management is a less dwelt topic. The success...

Commercial organizations increasingly need software processes sensitive to business value, quick to apply, supportive of multi-stakeholder collaboration, and capable of early analysis for subprocess consistency and compatibility. This paper presents experience in applying a lightweight synthesis of a Value-Based Software Quality Achievement process and an Object-Petri-Net-based process model to...

The Software quality management system has been developed. allows you to determine the state of software at each hierarchical level system, taking into account cost ensuring required quality. also IT company manager set potential costs for transition indicators from one another. It was found out that is a multifaceted concept can be adequately expressed by some structure characteristics and att...
