Citation preview
• Cygnet assists Independent Software Vendors to reduce time to market and cut development costs by providing access to technology expertise and skilled professionals.
• We assist software companies who are facing stringent time and cost deadlines to complete their projects without compromising quality and control
A Typical Scenario
• New module / application development• Estimated to take 5000 hours• Target deadline 6 months
5000 hours
160 man-hours per month= 31.25 man-months
31.25 man-months
6 months= 5.2 resources
• You need 5-6 developers for this project
• But what if you have only 2-3 resources available?
• Will you hire additional staff just for 6 months?
• What about additional testing, analysis and project management resources?
• Cost of project will be approx. $400,000
• What if your budget is only $300,000?
• Will you ask for more budget from management?
• Have you factored in scope creep?
The Challenge
$80/hr * 5000 hrs
