Abstract
Generally, software development schedule compression is decided within 75% of nominal schedule. However, there are some difficulties when we judge the possibility of development schedule compression because a nominal schedule has not been definitely. Therefore, this paper investigates various nominal schedule estimation models and decides the optimum range. Basing on the performance of ISBSG Release 8,614 projects are extracted from the actual 1,595 projects. We presented development effort estimation model from those data. Also, we derived the development schedule model from the development effort. When you apply the proposed model, you will be able to estimate development effort and schedule required for the development more actually.
