Software projects are notoriously difficult to predict and control. In fact, major industry studies have documented project failure rates as high as 60%. SEER for Software enables organizations to streamline project processes and improve project performance throughout the software development lifecycle.

Project Planning Software - Understand project scope and complexity and develop detailed project plans more quickly and accurately, helping with software estimation.

Project Cost Management Software - Identify key cost drivers and test trade-offs much earlier in the software development process.

Project Tracking Software - Monitor project progress and determine what mid-course corrections (if any) are needed to keep the project on track.

Thousands of government and commercial users worldwide currently depend on SEER for Software (SEER-SEM) to improve software project performance and deliver software projects on time and on target.

All SEER solutions are built on the same design principles, incorporating the following application elements:
Interface:

An intuitive interface for defining and describing projects. Users can generate a new project from an existing project “template” or by adding and defining individual work elements. A series of pop-up windows and annotations guide users through the process of defining project scope, complexity, and technologies.
Simulation/Modeling Engine:

Sophisticated sector-specific mathematical models derived from extensive project histories, behavioral models, and metrics.
Knowledge Bases:

SEER Knowledge Bases serve as a virtual “in-house expert,” providing default project definitions, values, ranges, and calibrations based on comparable project histories. Enables users to develop first-look estimates when very little information is known, and to refine those estimates as details become available.
Output:

A variety of charts, graphs, and reports for quickly summarizing and presenting project outcomes and alternatives as well as work-in-progress.

Open architecture and APIs ensure that SEER applications can be easily integrated with departmental productivity solutions and enterprise applications.
