"Principles of Top-Down Quantitative Analysis of Projects. Part 1: State Equation of Projects and Project Change Analysis"
by Pavel Barseghyan,
in PM World Today Vol XI, Issue V, May 2009, pp. 1-17

This paper presents the derivation of the state equation of projects that incorporates project size, project duration, project total effort, team size, team productivity and project difficulty. In contrast to existing bottom-up methods of project presentation in the form of statistical relationships between project parameters this new top-down methodology is not a data driven and therefore is more accurate and stable.
