Government agencies are attempting to maximize the use of their increasingly limited funds. Accurate and credible cost and schedule estimates have always been a challenge, yet they are becoming more important than ever given our country's debt crisis and current political environment.

This need is increasing as the pressure to rapidly deploy systems mounts. The push for agile software development compounds this problem.
