Applying a software estimation method to the human resources management based on PMBOK

Abstract

The component based software development (CBSD) allows developing components independently and integrating them in a system. However it is not easy to manage the human resources during a project based on CBSD, usually some important tasks are not executed successfully, such as selection of the right human resources, tasks assigning and incentive to the workers according to their performance. PMBOK is a methodology for the project management. One of its areas is the human resources management. This paper argues about the impact for the human resources management at applying a method to calculate the absolute value of work in the component based software development. Therefore, how this method supports the activities for the human resources management proposed by PMBOK is illustrated in this paper.
