Abstract
AbstractRapid changes in information technology (IT) set challenges to software project effort estimation. Besides effort estimation, software projects involve various other effort‐related functions which have an effect on the effort estimation. Some of these functions are required by the capability maturity models such as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). However, both the capability maturity model requirements and research on software project effort is very fragmented. This article proposes a framework for improving effort management in software projects. The framework assists both the total management and, on the other hand, concentration on selected areas of effort‐related functions. The framework has been applied at TietoEnator Telecom & Media.
