Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the construction of a system dynamics model, focusing on key managerial decision variables related to workforce management during requirements extraction in software development projects. Our model establishes the relationships among those variables, making it possible to analyze and to better understand their mutual influences. Simulations conducted with the model made it possible to verify and foresee the consequences of risk factors (e.g. people turnover and high requirements volatility) on quality and cost of work. Three scenarios (e.g. optimistic, baseline and pessimistic) are set using data from previous studies and data collected in a software development company.
