Ned Chapin
ABSTRACT
New evidence is presented that certain management decisions play a critical role in determining the level of staff productivity in the maintenance of computer programs and systems. The finding is surprising because the pivotal decision-making process has not previously been identified as a significant influence on productivity in either development or maintenance.

Software maintenance productivity and maturity
PROFES '10: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Product Focused SoftwareMaturity models assess the organization's processes to determine their level of maturity and capability. There is an implicit assumption that a higher level of maturity (or more capability) leads to higher level of productivity and quality. Based on ...
Measuring productivity in agile software development process: a scoping study
ICSSP 2015: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Software and System ProcessAn agile software development process is often claimed to increase productivity. However, productivity measurement in agile software development is little researched. Measures are not explicitly defined nor commonly agreed upon. In this paper, we ...
Software Project Managers' Perceptions of Productivity Factors: Findings from a Qualitative Study
ESEM '16: Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and MeasurementContext -- Developers' productivity plays an important role in software development organizations; however, in many cases the management of such human capital is mainly based on how project managers perceive productivity. Therefore, it is important to ...
