Abstract :
In software engineering, team task assignments appear to have a significant potential impact on a project´s overall success. The authors propose task assignment effort adjustment factors that can help tune existing estimation models. They show significant improvements in the predictive abilities of both Cocomo I and II by enhancing them with these factors
