Sequence effects in the estimation of software development effort [PDF]
Abstract Currently, little is known about how much the sequence in which software development tasks or projects are estimated affects judgment-based effort estimates. To gain more knowledge, we examined estimation sequence effects in two experiments.

Estimating the development effort of Web projects in Chile [PDF]
We present a method to fast estimate the development effort of Web-based information systems in Chile. The method, called Chilean Web application development effort estimation (CWADEE), addresses a necessity to get effort estimations in a short period of 24 to 72 hours using limited information.
