Improvements In Research, Project Development Process Based On Quantitative Management Methods

An optimal control of software process is the key to guarantee the success of software project. But there are several problems in our practices, like those: "Is the software process behind schedule?" "Which size is the software process behind schedule?" "How can we make the process control decision?" The project managers usually make the process control decision by his experience and hunch scent. They have not a method for measuring software process. In this way, the future of the software project can not be controlled. The success of the software project is only decided by the experience of the project managers. It is a hard risk for a software company.Therefore, a model of software process measurement is presented ,and the strategies for analyzing and controlling based on measurement are described and analyzed. Based on this and the practice of implementing CMMI, a method for measuring software process is designed. Through this method, the software process can be measured and controlled dynamically. When the process behind schedule ,a project manager can immediately make an optimal process control decision to guarantee the quality,cost and delivery of the project by using the presented strategies of software process analysis and control.
