Contributors to this initiative will benefit from:
Publication of the COSMIC Functional Size Measurement Method Version 3.0 (Nov-07) marked a new level of maturity in software measurement. 2008 saw the 10th anniversary of the Common Software Measurement International Consortium. Acceptance has grown, with many new users in Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, Spain, Sweden, UK & USA. Increased use has led to increased demand for benchmark data. In 2009 COSMIC and the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group < www.isbsg.org > will establish more refined benchmarks, to increase value for those submitting data, and for the general user community. Users are encouraged to submit data for around 5 development or enhancement projects, although even short ‘sprints’ and Requests For Change will be useful. Closing date for contributions to the 2009 COSMIC Global Benchmarking Initiative is 1st May 2009. Data for 1 or more projects should be entered on the ‘COSMIC/ISBSG Concise Data Collection Questionnaire (CDCQ)’ http://www.isbsg.org/isbsgnew.nsf Submit the form before May 1st to ensure inclusion in Release 11 of the ISBSG database (later submissions will go into Rel. 12). It takes just a few hours to enter the data. There is no limit to the number of projects you submit – the more you provide, the more value you will add & receive. ISBSG has successfully maintained confidentiality for many years, and guarantees all data you submit will be anonymised.
No-one will be able to link any data to your organization. There
is no risk of you losing competitive advantage. The more data
submitted, the more value can be delivered to participating
organizations. |
