A Public Benchmark Repository - The Added Value of the ISBSG
Ton Dekkers - Director of Consulting, Galorath International
IT becomes more and more an integral part of the business processes. Software Benchmarking has proven to be useful in making estimating processes more professional in software development.
In 2007 the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) published the 10th edition of the new development repository with project information of over 4000 IT projects.
ISBSG is a not-for-profit organization. Briefly the mission, the structure and the positioning of the ISBSG will be explained.
More detail will be given on the process of collecting the data, the validation and verification process, the date in itself and the publication of the data. The reality checker (part of the ISBSG repository) is used to demonstrate the added value.
