Capers Jones analyzed the results
from hundreds of productivity improvement initiatives and found many ways
to boost the output of development organizations; the single most effective
one was reuse. In his sample, he found that reuse increased productivity
by 70 percent (Software Development Magazine, Dec. 1997). As added bonuses,
delivered defects fell by 85 percent and schedules improved by 50 percent.
