Literature review shows that more accurate software effort and cost estimation methods are needed for project management success. Expert judgment algorithmic model two predominant discussed in the literature. Both reported almost at comparable level of accuracy performance. The combination is suggested to increase accuracy. Delphi method an encouraging structured expert group but surprisingly l...

As software houses increasingly align themselves to Agile Software Development paradigm, the issue of what constitutes agility is coming to the forefront. Is it enough to follow the rituals and practices of some agile method to deliver the promises of the paradigm? Or, certain enablers need to be in place to prepare the context for the methods to deliver? What are these attributes of agility an...

Advocates of software risk management claim that by identifying and analyzing threats to success (i.e., risks) action can be taken to reduce the cbance of failure ofa project. The first step in theriskmanagement process is to identify tbe risk itself, so tbat appropriate countermeasures can be taken.

This paper presents a six-step metrics-based methodology for assessing the risks associated with and hence the resources required to implement the requirements contained within a software requirements specification (SRS). The method seeks to eliminate the use of subjective probability assessments in models of risk exposure (RE) and risk reduction leverage (RRL). Measurements are taken of the nu...

We present a mathematical model for a dynamic Delphi survey method which takes advantages of Web technology. A comparative study on the performance of the conventional Delphi method and the dynamic Delphi instrument is conducted. It is suggested that a dynamic Delphi survey may form a consensus quickly. However, the result may not be robust due to the judgement leaking issues.

While open source has long been increasing in the infrastructure software domain, few organizations have adopted open source for mission-critical software application. We use the Delphi method to investigate barriers to mission-critical OSS adoption as perceived by two panels of experienced providers in France (n= 18) and in Canada (Quebec) (n= 11). On average, panelists have 15 years of experi...

Among the typical dissertation research designs, one particular design that is slowly gaining acceptance is that of the Delphi Method. Using a panel of experts to achieve consensus in solving a problem, deciding the most appropriate course of action, or establishing causation where none previously existed, particularly in areas of business or education research, are uniquely ideal to employment...
