Abstract:
Product development time estimation is important for project management tasks. This study investigates the impact of requirements reuse on product development duration for different products in a similar domain. We propose an analytical tool to estimate the minimum time to be saved given the percentage of requirements reused from earlier projects. Empirical results of industrial case studies are used as inputs to this study. Three cases from different organizations have been studied for software and system development projects, which consist of hardware and software components. The results of the case studies are compared with a study in the literature on product development time. According to the industrial empirical results, a modified product development time estimation method is proposed for software projects.
