Software Measurement Consulting

We have been successfully guiding clients to produce their software deliverables faster at a lower cost with higher quality for over a decade. In all types of development settings, whether maintenance, new development, enhancement, outsourced or blended environments, DCG helps your process improvement by measuring and managing your IT processes effectively and efficiently using appropriate metrics, tools and techniques.

Telus Communications

Measurement Focus Fast Track: Telus Communications implemented an effective software development measurement program based on the function point metric with DCG help. What set Telus' approach apart was the speed, effectiveness and reception of the change initiative within a complex, geographically diverse and federated organization. While no program or project plan is perfect and there are always corporate social and unforeseen circumstances, DCG experience, expertise and counsel was intelligently integrated, in a timely and progressive manner, into an eager community seeking to compete at a higher level. The speed of which Telus was able to stand up on its own and DCG exit the stage was a testament to their internal program management capabilities.

“ Thanks again for the excellent instruction. We have regrouped and narrowed our metrics program to about 10 metrics that make sense and give us more value. We have eliminated some of the metrics that were just too time consuming to collect data and added a few that will help us with cost of quality and also promote our worth within the organization. I couldn't have done it without your help. Keep up the good work. ”

“Function point (productivity) analysis work...

...Team: Just as a point of feedback, Tom, the DCG consulting interviewer has done a very professional job with these sessions. I have so far participated in two and both have been very well led. Tom was able to characterize pretty quickly what went on in the projects. He has a very non-threatening style, and asks very good questions. He finished when he learned what he needed to know so we could get on with it. ”
