Case Study: U.S. Army PEO STRI achieves more defensible software cost estimates with PRICE Systems

U.S. Army PEO STRI cuts software estimate overruns by up to 60% with PRICE Systems

The U.S. Army PEO STRI faced a challenge in creating defensible software cost estimates for its programs due to a lack of standardized historical data. This led to budget overstatements of 30-60% and lengthy approval cycles. To address this, they partnered with vendor PRICE Systems to implement a solution using the TruePlanning framework.

PRICE Systems implemented its PRICE Estimation Systems Integration methodology, which created a standardized process for data collection and analysis. This solution provided defensible estimates, leading to a projected savings of over $90 million for a single pilot program. The measurable impact for the U.S. Army PEO STRI included significant life cycle cost savings, increased budget approval confidence, and a new ability to measure contractor productivity.
