They are like two sides of the same  coin as poor performance in any one of these two can  affect the overall performance. High productivity  with low quality (i.e. high delivered defects) can  make the application dysfunctional  and similarly,  high delivered quality with low productivity  (smaller size of the application) can have the risk  of omission of many functionalities. In this thesis,  therefore, both productivity and defects are  considered. In software development, role of  equipment, capital and other factors of production  play a relatively nominal role vis-à-vis skilled  manpower. In fact, manpower that is measured in this  industry in terms of effort spent or a man month of  effort is in fact the single largest factor  contributing to the application output. Accordingly  productivity measure is defined by size of the  application developed (measured in Function Point  units) divided by total man months of effort spent  for such development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843360654\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn analysis of new development projects in IT industry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843360654","offer_id":39497090826333,"sku":"9783843360654","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/1de2dfc5-e3d7-40a2-9a09-56ae327ed471.jpg?v=1756186140","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/optimizing-productivity-von-baishnab-mohapatra","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
