by Khaled El Emam

Benchmarking is the process of comparing your own software projects with projects in other companies in the same industry. This can help you see where you stand in comparison to your competitors, make your pricing more attractive during bids, evaluate contractors, and monitor the benefits of process improvements and technology changes in your projects. This Executive Report explains what benchmarking is, how to benchmark successfully, and the benefits of benchmarking; it then presents a number of case studies to illustrate how benchmarking works.
