struts effort tracking system
Abstract
Software project tracking is a dense and demanding task. It is difficult to measure effort spent on a project to determine a valid and concrete status since manual system of tracking effort suffers from loopholes and miscalculations which lead to ambiguous results. Ambiguity in information cannot be used to make strategic decisions. Measurement of effort spent on project is essential to predict to progress. This will further help to analyze the success factor of the project. An attempt is made in this paper to present the challenges faced in measuring effort exhausted in the project. This paper explores the innovative thoughts implemented to measure the efforts by developing RFID based effort tracking system. Effort Tracking System is designed to provide a transparent view of the organizational effort on a software project. The paper discusses about the architecture of Effort Tracking System, the inputs and outputs generated from the system. This paper discusses and compares the manual system of tracking effort with the Effort Tracking System using test of hypothesis. Statistical analysis is performed on these two data sets to determine which system provides the actual efforts drawn from employees by software projects. We have tried to show how the system helps the project managers in estimation, planning, identifying the critical factor for the project. Finally this paper presents some of the lessons learnt and the major benefit achieved in cost, schedule, quality, customer satisfaction by the organization.
