Abstract :
Ask Pete is a software project planning tool which incorporates methodologies for cost and schedule estimation through COCOMO II; corporate risk and resource investment through the use of the Control Level methodology; and the need for external verification and validation activities through the NASA IV&V criteria. The paper examines each of these methodologies and how they interrelate in the tool to provide the characterization necessary for project planning and estimation
