MITRE-HERNANDEZ, Hugo A.; ORTEGA-MARTINEZ, Edgar e LEMUS-OLALDE, Cuauhtémoc. Estimation and Control in Agile Methods for Software Development: a Case Study. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.3, pp.403-418. ISSN 2594-0732.
The development of software (SW) using agile methods is growing due to the productivity associated with these methodologies, in addition to the flexibility shown in small teams. However, these methods have clear weaknesses of software development in cost estimation and management, as well as the fact that project managers do not have enough evidence to verify the budget spending on a project due to the poor documentation generated and the lack of monitoring of resource spending. A proposal estimation and cost control in agile methods to solve these shortcomings. To this end, a case study was conducted in an agile software development company using the proposal for Software as a Service (SaaS) and Web application projects. The results found were that the proposal generates a high degree of evidence for project managers, but it has shortcomings in the administration of the evidence for the control and decision making, which led to a definition of a decision making process to be coupled with the measurement proposal.
