Quantitative Data-Driven Decisions Qd3

Quantitative Data-Driven Decisions (QD3) is a leading provider of software development management and process improvement services. We use the most effective methods, tools, and techniques available to measure and monitor the core metrics to assess and manage the entire software development process and to implement continuous process improvements. QD3 is more than a company name; it’s what we do. We know that all organizations struggle with delivery dates, costs, resources, and quality in software management. At QD3, we provide alternative solutions (quantitative data) based on gathering key metrics, real constraints, and risk, allowing our clients to decide which solution works best for them (data-driven decisions)! Each of our capabilities involves working with five core metrics. We start with at least one and calculate the others. The estimating process relies on metrics from completed projects, either in-house or from data collected on similar industry groups and project types. Core metrics include- Size (the amount of business functionality requested or required)- Effort (synonymous with project cost, assuming cost per person-hour)- Schedule (how long the project will take)- Quality (how reliable will the delivered product be?)- Process Productivity (how productive is the entire software development process? How does it compare to actual completed projects in this organization or industry?) Pam Simonovich founded QD3 in 2018, bringing together consultants having many years of experience as software practitioners, measurement consultants, and process improvement experts. QD3 employs some of the top experts in the software estimation and measurement field having worked on hundreds of client engagements, who are sought out internationally as management consultants, trainers, and speakers.
