COnstructive COst MOdel II (COCOMO® II) is a model that allows one to estimate the cost, effort, and schedule when planning a new software development activity.


 It consists of three submodels, each one offering increased fidelity the further along one is in the project planning and design process. Listed in increasing fidelity, these submodels are called:


Applications Composition model

Early Design model

Post-architecture model


COCOMO II is useful for:


Making investment or other financial decisions involving a software development effort

Setting project budgets and schedules as a basis for planning and control

Deciding on or negotiating tradeoffs among software cost, schedule, functionality, performance or quality factors

Making software cost and schedule risk management decisions


COCOMO III is a project underway to update COCOMO II.
