Insourcing software projects with mature teams: effort estimation and resource provision at equilibrium

Effort estimation (EE) is crucial for planning software projects since it contributes to delivery goals. Nevertheless, even in agile methodologies, EE is a complex process due to environmental and structural factors surrounding the interaction between the leader and the development team. To simplify...

Nevertheless, even in agile methodologies, EE is a complex process due to environmental and structural factors surrounding the interaction between the leader and the development team. To simplify EE, companies prefer insourcing development with a mature team and a leader that provides resources. We model the interaction between the leader and the development team as a leader-follower game to understand how they behave at equilibrium. Later, we compare leader and development team equilibrium strategies when they interchange their roles. Our main results provide conditions that guarantee the uniqueness of equilibrium strategies, and we illustrate the impact of exogenous variables on equilibrium strategies through numerical examples. La Estimación de Esfuerzo (EE) es crucial para la planeación de proyectos de software toda vez que contribuye al logro de objetivos. Sin embargo, la EE es un proceso complejo aún en las metodologías ágiles debido a los factores ambientales y estructurales que se encuentran presentes durante la interacción entre el equipo de desarrollo y su líder. Para hacer más sencillo el proceso de EE, las compañías prefieren el desarrollo interno con equipos maduros y un líder que provea recursos. Modelamos la interacción entre el líder y el equipo de desarrollo como un juego líder-seguidor para entender como ambos se comportan en equilibrio. Después, comparamos las estrategias en equilibrio del líder y del equipo de desarrollo al momento en que intercambian sus roles. Nuestros resultados principales proveen condiciones que garantizan la unicidad de las estrategias en equilibrio, y mediante ejemplos numéricos ilustramos el impacto de las variables exógenas sobre las estrategias en equilibrio.
