Yet, in industrial practice, the important role of effort estimation is often underestimated and/or misunderstood. In this book, Adam Trendowicz presents the CoBRA method  (an abbreviation for Cost Estimation, Benchmarking, and Risk Assessment) for estimating the effort required to successfully complete a software development project, which uniquely combines human judgment and measurement data in order to systematically create a custom-specific effort estimation model. CoBRA goes far beyond simply predicting the development effort; it supports project decision-makers in negotiating the project scope, managing project risks, benchmarking productivity, and directing improvement activities. To illustrate the method?s practical use, the book reports several real-world cases where CoBRA was applied in various industrial contexts. These cases represent different estimation contexts in terms of software project environment, estimation objectives, and estimation constraints. This book is the result of a successful collaboration between the process management division of Fraunhofer IESE and many software companies in the field of software engineering technology transfer. It mainly addresses software practitioners who deal with planning and managing software development projects as part of their daily work, and is also of interest for students or courses specializing in software engineering or software project management. 410 0$aFraunhofer IESE series on software and systems engineering. 606 $aComputer software$xDevelopment$xManagement 606 $aSoftware engineering$xManagement 615 0$aComputer software$xDevelopment$xManagement. 615 0$aSoftware engineering$xManagement. 676 $a005.1068 700 $aTrendowicz$b Adam$0945790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437561803321 996 $aSoftware Cost Estimation, Benchmarking, and Risk Assessment$92503777 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02447nam 22005293u 450 001 9910164998203321 005 20230803015156.0 010 $a9782511003190 010 $a2511003198 035 $a(CKB)3790000000025147 035 $a(EBL)2097833 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2097833 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL2097833 035 $a(OCoLC)914433908 035 $a(Perlego)3578287 035 $a(EXLCZ)993790000000025147 100 $a20150727d2013|||| u|| | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSummary of An Army of Davids 210 $aCork $cPrimento Digital$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (20 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9782512004363 311 08$a2512004368 327 $aIntro -- Title page -- Book Presentation -- Book Abstract -- About the Author -- Important Note About This Ebook -- Summary of An Army of Davids (Glenn Reynolds) -- Introduction -- Homebrewed -- Blogging -- The Wi-Fi Revolution -- Cyber War -- Ad Hoc Journalism - Flash Media -- Empowering the Little Guys -- Live Long - And Prosper! -- Space: It's Not Just For Governments Anymore -- Mars or Bust! -- Conclusion -- Buy the Book -- About the Summary Publisher -- Copyright. 330 $a This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Glenn Reynolds in his book "An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower the little Guy to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Glenn Reynolds' book.
Reynolds highlights that we live today in a world where individuals are strongly influent.
