COCOMO II
• COnstructive COst MOdel II (COCOMO® II) is a
  model that allows one to estimate the
  cost, effort, and schedule when planning a
  new software development activity
• It consists of three submodels, each one
  offering increased fidelity the further along
  one is in the project planning and design
  process. Listed in increasing fidelity, these
  submodels are called the
• Applications Composition,
• Early Design, and
• Post-architecture models.
• COCOMO® II can be used for the following major
  decision situations
• Making investment or other financial decisions
  involving a software development effort
• Setting project budgets and schedules as a basis
  for planning and control
• Deciding on or negotiating tradeoffs among
  software
  cost, schedule, functionality, performance or
  quality factors
• The original model published in 1981 went by
  the simple name of COCOMO®. This is an
  acronym derived from the first two letters of
  each word in the longer phrase COnstructive
  COst MOdel. The word constructive refers to
  the fact that the model helps an estimator
  better understand the complexities of the
  software job to be done, and by its openness
  permits the estimator to know exactly why the
  model gives the estimate it does
