Abstract: The invented method and software consolidate and automate the mechanism of quality of process (QoP) measurement in software development projects, and in any other business activity. Quality policy is defined as a collection of quality requirements, with software modules, that automatically calculate the value of each quality metric. Weighted average of all quality metrics is a QoP indicator, which can be used for project monitoring, team motivation and business feasibility study.
Abstract: The invented method is based on the assumption that the product scope of software is defined by a complete set of requirements on the same level of abstraction. Based on this assumption, a limited number, up to seven, requirements (scope champions) are estimated using one of the existing estimating approaches. The average of the obtained estimates is multiplied by a total amount of requirements and by a constant. The result is the final product scope estimate.
