Abstract Many risks due to human factors are latent in a software development project. If suitable management can be performed to these risks and a software development process can be improved continuously, we will lead the project to improve in the productivity and quality of software product. In this paper, we analyze the process data collected from an actual software development project, and clarify the process factors which affect the quality of software product, based on multivariate analysis. Further, we also discuss a method of quantitative project evaluation, which helps us to give useful quantitative measures for determining project completion.
