Abstract
We often face to the difficulty to measure the progress of software development in the upper process management such as system requirement definition process. In order to solve this problem, we attempted to divide the upper process into some fine processes and standardize them, so that each divided process has the certain planned value based on the concept of the EVM (Earned Value Management) and managers' individual feeling never affect the judge of the progress. In addition, we are evaluating the new system in the field which has a threshold to detect progress troubles in advance and automatically suggests diagnosis and countermeasure strategy. We are expecting this system brings early trouble prediction with countermeasure in regardless of managers' own discretion.
