  11. MITRE performed a study calibrating Barry Boehm's CoCoMo work sometime in
  12. the last 5 years. I know the results; I'm looking for a reference.
  13.  
  14. I might add that they found that they found the 10%/90% limits for Barry's
  15. model were +/- 20%. I.e., if CoCoMo predicted a project schedule of 10
  16. months, the actual length would be 8-12 months in 80% of the cases.
