Abstract :
This work is concerned with the measure and, most importantly, the prediction of software development projects in terms of cost estimate. The purpose of this paper is to explore the usefulness of recording, in the software project data, the cultural and leadership characteristics of the development team. As a result of the study, a new model for identifying and analyzing was developed. The paper tests the association of these characteristics with the other project characteristics using data from a survey of 41 software projects collected from IT organizations in UAE.
