Easy Effort Estimation - 3E: Method for Estimating Software Projects for Small Businesses
Abstract
This paper presents an effort estimation method for software projects destinated to small and medium-sized business companies. The 3E method uses the organization historical database and best practices of existing methods in literature, like Function Points, Use Case Points, CoCoMo II and Wideband Delphi. This paper presents a comparative study between the existing methods and a case study with its achieved results to the present moment, having low deviation between planned and actual effort, compared to Use Case Points
Keywords:
