Abstract

Software project managers use a variety of informal methods to track the progress of development and refine project schedules. Previous formal techniques have generally assumed a constant implementation pace. This is at odds with the experience and intuition of many project managers. We present a simple model for charting the pace of software development and helping managers understand the changing implementation pace of a project. The model was validated against data collected from the implementation of several large projects.
