Abstract

Many software development Projects mainly use Function point software estimation methodology or Lines of Code Estimation methodologies for Efforts Estimation. Effort variance is an important metrics parameter which needs to be more focused. Optimization of effort variance is a very significant factor which influences internal organization driven and customer driven goals. We have taken one Project data of 4301 Actual Person days and 4008 Person days for analysis purpose. We have used Langrange¡¯s Interpolation methodology to predict actual efforts at any point of stage of software development life cycle(SDLC) for the planned efforts for that stage. By adopting this methodology we have minimized the effort variance from 7% to 0.65%. This methodology and validation need to done for many projects to apply in generic way.
