Abstract
A computer software application in the form of a software management and task completion and prediction apparatus by which project completion can be ascertained and management of a project can be maintained with a high efficiency and accuracy. The software application is a web-based application which enables users to proactively manage and accurately predict strategic software development and deliverables. This application and delivery management system comprises distributed data collectors, an application server and a browser interface. The data collectors automatically gather data already being generated by various tools within the organization, such as scheduling, defect tracking, requirements management and software quality tools. This data is constantly being collected and fed into the application server, thereby providing objective and updated information. New tools can be easily added without disrupting operations. The data collected is fed into the applications server which is the brain of the apparatus. The application server analyzes the data collected by the data collectors to generate a statistically significant probability curve. This curve is then compared to the orig…
