Use of Software Metrics to Scope Control in IT Projects Using Paraconsistent Logic
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: Information Technology (IT) projects have been highlighted in the organizational environment since the results of these projects impact in organizations’ strategy. Good practices of project managements defend high-quality projects to deliver it within scope, on time, and within budget. In this sense, to deliver a project on time and a budget, it is necessary that their scope be well defined. However, the project team is faced with difficulties in understanding business requirements. Consequently, it causes project failures and affects the user’s satisfaction. Project software metrics as Function Points (FP) is taking a growing interest in the organization to control the scope of IT projects. Despite the importance of this theme, there are few empirical studies on the practical use of these metrics to IT Projects Scope Control (ITPSC). Considering this gap, the objective of this research is twofold: 1. identify the use of software metrics to ITPSC, and 2. provide a proposal of software metrics use based on FP to ITPSC. This is an exploratory qualitative study based on literature review and paracon-sistent logic. The literature review is based on academic papers published in the last 10 years. This paper contributes to academy area by offering an overview of how software metrics are being used by organizations to control the ITPSC and present a proposal of how they can be used to control the ITPSC.
