In this paper we are introducing new
method of software cost estimation for Agile based software projects (Web based
agile projects) and also like to introduce how this method is improving
performance and efficiency of Agile based Software cost estimation. Rapid
application development model CORADMO provided cost estimation in the form of
rapid person productivity count by using person-month (Effort) and month
(Schedule), but CORADMO followed waterfall model, so in agile case we do not
require waterfall model fully and in agile software development all the stage
of development having rapidly change with customer requirements, and COCOMO-II
have no longer support for this, we needed a new method to improve rapid cost estimation
performances, and also relate with agile methodology and provide more matching
relation with agile methods: DSDM, ASD, AUP and SCRUM.
