JPL-D-26303 (REV. 0), HANDBOOK FOR SOFTWARE COST ESTIMATION (30 MAY 2003)., The purpose of this document is to describe a recommended process to develop software (SW) cost estimates for software managers and cognizant engineers. The process described is a simplification of the approach typically followed by cost estimation professionals. The document is a handbook and therefore the process is documented in a \"cook boo\" fashion in order to make formal estimation practices more accessible to managers and software engineers.
