MarketInfo (correct spell is M@rketInfo) has been presented at OOP2003 (see http://www.sigs-datacom.de/sd/kongresse/oop_2003/program/thursday.htm#CS18) Some stuff can be found here: * slides: http://www.quinary.com/downloads/files/Resources/OOP2003Presentation.pdf * paper: http://www.quinary.com/downloads/files/Resources/OOP2003Paper.pdf ---- A clarification: in the whole project, the average underestimation error against the first estimate has been measured as 15.68%. Limiting the measurement to the last 3 months showed a value of 0.61% ==> in the first part of the project we had an underestimation error of 30.56% ==> therefore the reduction was from ~31% (in the first 7 months) to ~1% (in the last 3 months). A few questions from KenBitskoMacLeod: * ''Were the estimates produced by the developers themselves improved to that accuracy?'' ==> Yes * ''Or were the developer's estimates adjusted by an error factor?'' ==> No: we tried it in past projects, but it really didn't work as good as exposing estimates without adjustment. Actually, this is the subject of a paper that I will present at XP2003. --PiergiulianoBossi ---- CategoryProject, CategoryXpInItaly
