SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS CALIBRATION ESTIMATION AND IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS ACROSS A SOFTWARE INTEGRATION LIFE CYCLE
First Claim
1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to:
- compare actual data associated with a phase of a project to expected results used to develop a strategic development plan for the project; and
calibrate efforts in the strategic development plan for future activities of the project based on the actual data.

Abstract
A method and system of calibrating estimates for software projects is provided. More particularly, a method and system is provided to continuously provide calibration estimation and improvement options across a software integration life cycle. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to: compare actual data associated with a phase of a project to expected results used to develop a strategic development plan for the project; and calibrate efforts in the strategic development plan for future activities of the project based on the actual data.

21. A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage medium having readable program code embodied in the storage medium, the computer program product includes at least one component operable to:
-
receive expected results to develop a strategic development plan for a software integration project; compare actual test data associated with a phase of the software integration project to the expected results; and dynamically calibrate efforts for future activities based on the actual data when the actual data does not match the expected test results. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)

25. A computer system for providing a projection analysis based on a maturity level for an organization, the system comprising:
-
a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media; first program instructions to receive expected results to develop a strategic development plan for a software integration project; second program instructions to compare actual test data associated with a phase of the software integration project to the expected results; and third program instructions to dynamically calibrate efforts for future activities based on the actual data when the actual data does not match the expected test results, wherein the first, second and third program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.
