Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system and computer program product for estimating resource factors for a steady state execution of a project. The resource factors are associated with a second set of resources. A required effort associated with a first set of resources executing the project is received. Thereafter, a primary effort estimate is calculated. Subsequently, first pre-defined parameters and second pre-defined parameters are assigned corresponding weights. A value corresponding to each of the resource factors is then generated on the basis of the primary effort estimate, weighted first pre-defined parameters and weighted second pre-defined parameters and available time associated with the second set of resources.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, a system, and a computer program product for determining productivity of a team associated with maintenance and production support of software. The invention enables receiving one or more tickets associated with the software, the number of full time equivalent team-members (FTEs) in the team, and weight corresponding to each predefined parameter. Net ticket-units are determined based on the predefined ticket-unit associated with the tickets. An adjustment factor is determined based on the weight corresponding to each predefined parameter. Adjusted ticket-units are determined based on the net ticket-units and the adjustment factor. The productivity of the team for a predefined time period is generated based on the adjusted ticket-units and the number of FTEs. In a similar manner, the invention enables determining the number of FTEs based on a received productivity and the adjusted ticket-units.
