Abstract

This paper describes how the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI’s) Automated Continuous Estimation for a Pipeline of Pipelines (ACE/PoPs) research project can help program managers (PMs) leverage existing DevSecOps software development environments to automate data collection and integrate cost, schedule, and engineering performance. Using this information, PMs can track, forecast, and display program progress.
