تمرين 7

You are in charge of developing two 31-KDSI organic-mode products. Both are nominal in every respect except that product P1 has extra-high complexity and product P2 has extra-low complexity. To develop the product, you have two teams at your disposal. Team A has very high analyst capability, applications experience, and programmer capability. Team A also has high virtual machine experience and programming language experience. Team B is rated very low on all five attributes.
(i) What is the total effort (in person-months) if team A develops product P1 and team B develops product P2?
(ii) What is the total effort (in person-months) if team B develops product P1 and team A develops product P2?
(iii) Which of the two preceding staffing assignments makes more sense? Is your intuition backed by the predictions of intermediate COCOMO?
