27.6. The relationship between people and time is highly nonlinear. Using Putnam’s software equation (described in Section 27.2.2), develop a table that relates number of people to project 27.7. Assume that you have been contracted by a university to develop an online course registration system (OLCRS). First, act as the customer (if you’re a student, that should be easy!)

and specify the characteristics of a good system. (Alternatively, your instructor will provide you with a set of preliminary requirements for the system.) Using the estimation methods discussed in Chapter 26, develop an effort and duration estimate for OLCRS. Suggest how you would:

a. Define parallel work activities during the OLCRS project.

b. Distribute effort throughout the project.

c. Establish milestones for the project.
