“…In particular, SPRINT SMEs methods concentrate on problems in selected process domains such as requirements engineering and prioritization and project planning and staffing [12,13]. For project staffing problems, in particular, a systematic approach for evaluating the suitability of candidate human resources for each software development task is an imperative issue for a successful implementation of SPI [1,2,14]. While midsize to large companies are characterized by a large pool with a considerable number of available resources with different skills to choose from, small to midsize companies need to follow a tailored decision making process to effectively utilize the limited human resources available.…”

“…However, assignment of roles and consequent formation of project teams rely often on project managers' subjective judgments and experience, project constraints (e.g., project budget and timing constraints), resource constraints (e.g., availability of human resources), and skillrelated requirements. All this information is not usually systematically recorded and handled [14]. Proper resource evaluation and selection of human resources is an important decision in software project management.…”

“…The ability to properly evaluate the skill levels of available human resources is vital to achieve proper resource allocation in the development tasks comprising a software project. Besides skill-based assessment approaches, in the literature, there are also research works [3,14] focusing on evaluations of various personality traits and different types of behavioural capabilities of candidate human resources, such as intrapersonal, organizational, interpersonal, and management capabilities. The main aim of these approaches is to properly assign available resources to project functional roles (e.g., project leader, analyst, designer, programmer, tester, etc.)…”

“…We do recognize that this simple heuristic can be proven impractical to support complex resource allocation rules and availability constraints. In these situations the resource-task suitability values can be used as variables of a multiobjective optimization model, such as the one presented in [14] EEA = cs…”

Efficient allocation of human resources to the development tasks comprising a software project is a key challenge in software project management. To address this critical issue, a systematic human resource evaluation and selection approach can be proven helpful. In this paper, a fuzzy linguistic approach is introduced to evaluate the suitability of candidate human resources (software developers) considering their technical skills (i.e., provided skills) and the technical skills required to perform a software development task (i.e., task-related skills). The proposed approach is based on qualitative evaluations which are derived in the form of fuzzy linguistic 2-tuples from a group of decision makers (project managers). The approach applies a group/similarity degree-based aggregation technique to obtain an objective aggregation of the ratings of task-related skills and provided skills. To further analyse the suitability of each candidate developer, possible skill relationships are considered, which reflect the contribution of provided skills to the capability of learning other skills. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated and discussed through an exemplar case study scenario.

In recent years, software engineering education has rapidly changed to incorporate more realistic ways of learning. More frequently the software industry requires more skilled and qualified staff; however at the university level students are young, inexperienced, and relatively homogeneous in background and abilities. This article describes an approach that integrates a student teamwork methodology (TSPi) and project‐based learning (PBL) to improve software project managerial skills in undergraduate students. As complementary support, a computational tool, the Teamwork Platform for Software Engineering Education, has been developed to establish an interactive software engineering course with local software industry collaboration. Experimental results show that a set of software metrics was defined to demonstrate performance improvement of 45 students following our approach.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
