| PI Contribution | This is with Prof. Stephen MacDonell (Auckland University of Technology, NZ). As a consequence of the workshops and the experimental work conducted during the main project we (Dr Mair and Prof. Shepperd) have been invited to New Zealand to repeat the work with the Auckland University of Technology acting as host (April 29 - May 3, 2013). This will take the form of a software estimation workshop for practitioners in conjunction with a repeat of our experiment which will form the basis of a research collaboration with Prof. MacDonell. |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | We have had the opportunity of working closely, in particular over the design and conduct of the main experiments, with Prof Magne Jørgensen (Simula Labs, Norway). Prof. Jørgensen is a world leading authority on empirical software engineering and has been consistently ranked as the most published scholar in the field of systems and software engineering according to the Journal of Systems and Software ranking system. The data generated from this experiment will underpin continued collaborative research for some time to come and we hope for other informal arrangements such as exchange visits of PhD students. |

| Results and Impact | We have given 2 half day workshops to over 40 software professionals on estimation for the software compay Eclipse. The workshop was derived from our research on how bias impacts the estimates of individuals, how deep rooted these biases are and different de-biasing strategies. Ongoing |

| Results and Impact | The initial ideas underpinning the project were presented as part of joint keynote by Mair and Shepperd at the annual UK Software Metrics Association conference (Oct 27-28, 2011). This is a non-academic event organised by practitioners with a particular focus on software measurement, costing and productivity analysis. Consequently, this was an ideal opportunity to explain how this research can apply to the needs of those responsible for estimation within the software industry Ongoing |
