MacDonell, SGFletcher, T2012-03-122012-03-1219981998In Proceedings of the Fifth Software Metrics Symposium, 1998. Bathesda, Maryland, IEEE, pp. 97 - 100.https://hdl.handle.net/10292/3480This paper describes ongoing research directed at formulating a set of appropriate metrics for assessing effort requirements for multimedia systems development. An exploratory investigation of the factors that are considered by industry to be influential in determining development effort is presented. This work incorporates the use of a GQM framework to assist the metric selection process from a literature basis, followed by an industry questionnaire. The results provide some useful insights into contemporary project management practices in relation to multimedia systemsCopyright © 1998 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.
