Abstract
A method is provided for predictive growth and burn rate analysis in software pipeline management. The method comprises providing, for each of multiple projects in a software project pipeline, a set of inputs that includes labor demand, labor supply, and one or more historical data points. The method also includes aggregating the inputs, and calculating an overall labor supply/demand balance. The method then compares the difference between the balance and the historical data points to a reasonable threshold.
