The report presents a description of some of the salient characteristics of the data received by the Programming Management Project from the USAF and several industrial firms. Seventy-one different programming projects were reviewed. From the total data received, the items selected for inclusion in this report are man months and computer hours expended, programming languages and hardware used, types of programs, and three indices representing combinations of factors pertinent to each programming project. Also summarized are comments by the respondents regarding those factors which they believe to be most significant to computer programming costs. (Author)
