The Cockburn Scale, also known as the Project Classification Scale, is a method of describing how much formal process a software project requires. The scale was described in Alistair Cockburn's book ''Agile Software Development''. According to the author, the scale can be applied to other types of project, not only those that employ Agile methodologies. ==Definition== The Cockburn Scale categorizes projects according to "criticality" and "size". Process criticality is defined as the worst probable effect of an unremedied defect: * Loss of Life (L) * Loss of Essential Money (E) * Loss of Discretionary Money (D) * Loss of Comfort (C) Process size is defined as the size of the project's development staff. It is an open-ended scale, but the most commonly used values are 6, 20, 40, 100, and 200. A project is described by a pair of criticality and size indicators: for example, a two-person, life-critical project is categorized as a L6, while a 50-person project that, if it fails, could jeopardize the profits of an organization but not the organization's continued existence is categorized as a D100. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cockburn Scale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
