Assignment 3-: Open Rubric

1. Expert judgment and analog techniques are estimation methods where the former relies on knowledgeable staff and the latter uses a similar completed project. 2. Effort estimation models use parameters like size, duration, and constants to calculate effort and time for different systems. None of the example systems can be completed in 3 years. 3. Network diagrams use activities and their durations to calculate start/end dates and floats. Dummy activities link events between paths to avoid logical errors.

ASSIGNMENT 3-

QUESTION 1:
1.1. Expert judgment is an estimation technique based on the advice of knowledgeable staff,
whereas, Analog technique is where a similar, completed, project is identified and its actual
effort is used as the basis of the estimate.
1.2. A. Euclidean Distance= square-root of ((target_parameter1 – source_parameter1)2+
(target_parametern – source_parametern)2)

B. Project k = square-root of ((7-1)2+ (10-7)2) = 6.71


Project p = square-root of ((7-10)2+ (1-7)2) = 6.71
Project o = square-root of ((7-5)2+ (1-7)2) = 6.32
Project q = square-root of ((7-2)2+ (11-7)2) = 6.40
Project I = square-root of ((7-1)2+ (20-7)2) = 14.32

C. Project O/ option c.

QUESTION 2:

2.1 Effort = c(size)k


Where effort is measured in ‘person-months’ and size (lines of code) is measured in
(kdsi), and c and k are constants who’s values depend on their classification.

2.2 System A = 3*(17862)1.12 = 173493.40 pm


Time Duration = 2.5*(173493.40)0.35 = 170.49 months = 14.2 yrs.

System B = 3*(10762)1.12 = 98365.18 pm


Time Duration = 2.5*(98365.18)0.35 = 139.78 months = 11.6 yrs.

System C = 2.4*(22132)1.05 = 87595.73 pm


Time Duration = 2.5*(87595.73)0.38 = 188.83 months = 15.74 yrs.

System D = 3.6*(7253)1.20 = 154498.30 pm


Time Duration = 2.5*(154498.30)0.32 = 114.39 months = 9.5 yrs.

System E = 3.6*(6434)1.20 = 133807.29 pm


Time Duration = 2.5*(133807.29)0.32= 109.25 months = 9.1 yrs.

None of the projects will be completed in 3 years.

 C - 2: 4 weeks: 6
 D - 3: 3 weeks: 6
 E - 6: 8 weeks: 14
 F - 6: 3 weeks : 9
 G- 14: 2 weeks: 16
 H- 16: 3 weeks: 19
 The earliest project completion date is week 19.
The Backward Pass:

 H-16 : 3 weeks: 19
 G- 14: 2 weeks: 16
 F – 13 : 3weeks : 16
 E – 5: 8 weeks: 13
 D – 2: 3 weeks: 5
 C – 1 : 4 weeks: 5
 B – 0 : 3 weeks: 3
 A – 0: 2 weeks: 4

C. The activity float time is a measure of much the start or completion of an activity may be
delayed without affecting the end date of the project.

3.1.2.

A. B,D,E,G,H.

B. A,C,F,H. 12 WEEKS.

C. 19 WEEKS.

3.2. Dummy Activities are used to link the completion of an activity to start of another, where
logical errors may arise due to 2 paths within a network having a common event, they help by
making it easier to distinguish the activity end points.

Question 4:

(a) (m) (b) (te) (s)

A 2 4 6.50 4.08 0.75

B 6 7 7.50 6.92 0.25

C 1 2 5.50 2.42 0.75

D 2.50 4.50 5.50 4.33 0.5

E 5 6 7 6 0.33

4.3. Z = (T – te)/s = (10 – 6)/0.33 = 12.1


4.4. 0%.
RESULTS
Total = 38 / 102 (37%)
