Establishing a Formal Estimation Process in an R&D Environment

Abstract

The Software Engineering Process Office (SEPO) was formed at the Naval Ocean Systems Center in late 1988. SEPO's charter is to improve the software development processes from a Level 1 on the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Maturity Model to a Level 3 and above. One major effort in attaining a Level 3 is the establishment of a centerwide software estimation process. This paper describes SEPO's methods and progress in establishing a software estimation process at NOSC and a brief description of the process.
