What formula are you using? I also divided by 1000, rounding to 1 decimal place. So for "A" I have:
A = 2.4(28.5)^1.05 = 80.87pm
Plugging in 28.5 as a value into the program on
http://cost.jsc.nasa.gov/COCOMO.html#COCOMO gives a similar answer.
EDIT:
Right, after doing some more reading online (Wikipedia in particular has a good summary) I found the following equation:
Development Time = cb(Effort Applied)^db [months]
The coefficients cb and db are given as the following:
Software project cb db
Organic 2.5 0.38
Semi-detached 2.5 0.35
Embedded 2.5 0.32
Plugging my result for "A" into this equation I get:
Time = 2.5(80.87)^0.38 = 13.27 months
So I guess this is the final equation to use? I can't find this anywhere in the textbook though?
