Abstract :
The author describes a method for evaluating software productivity in the program development phase. The use of earned value index as the measure of productivity of a software team involves two steps. First, it requires appropriate preparation or revision of the work plan. The second step is the measurement itself, which is carried out either periodically or upon completion of a milestone. The detailed description of the procedures involved in the estimation process, together with practical examples, are given.<>
