COCOMO Project Estimation Summary

Project Overview

The project centers around the development of critical features for a healthcare app, encompassing registration, viewing doctors' schedules, appointment booking, and prescription orders.

COCOMO Methodology

COCOMO (Constructive Cost Model) is a widely used software cost estimation model that helps project managers estimate the effort, time, and resources required for a software development project. It categorizes projects into three modes:

1. Organic Mode: Suitable for small teams with experience in the problem domain.
2. Semi-detached Mode: Appropriate for intermediate team size and experience.
3. Embedded Mode: For projects with tight constraints and high reliability needs.

COCOMO Calculation and Formula

The estimation process involves:

1. Lines of Code (KLOC): An estimate based on the project's scope and complexity.
2. Effort Multiplier (EM): A factor accounting for project-level attributes (e.g., team experience, product complexity).
3. Effort Calculation: Using the formula Effort (person-days) = KLOC * EM.
4. Development Time Calculation: Utilizing the formula Development Time = c * (Effort)^d, with mode-specific coefficients (c, d).
5. Person Months Calulcation : Utilizing the formula Person-Months = Effort / Development time
