Abstract

Accurate estimation of software projects is quintessential for overall success of the project. Estimation of agile projects adopted in most of the modern software projects is challenging due to lack of historical data and due to dynamic characteristics of the agile projects. In this paper we introduce “Normalized Sprint Estimation” method which factors in dynamic characteristics of the agile projects such as non-functional requirements, sprint success factors and such. The author applied the normalized sprint estimation method to 14 sprints from three digital projects and the predicted estimation values had Pred (0.3), more than 80%. Though the normalized sprint estimation model is tested for digital projects, the same methodology can be applied for software projects from other domains as well.
