OBJECTIVE - The aim is to report on an ongoing investigation into software productivity and its influencing factors.

ADOPTED METHOD - Analysis of a data set containing project management of a large multinational company. The data set contains tables holding information about more than 25000 closed projects collected since 1990.

ENCOUNTERED ISSUES - Due to incomplete data only 1413 closed projects could be used for the investigation. Confidentiality was also considered as a major issue.

PRELIMINARY RESULTS The projects in the data set vary greatly in their productivity.

FUTURE WORK - Analysis of productivity and its influencing factors.
