Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is applied to evaluate the relative efficiency of software development projects of a leading software company in India. Further, the projects are categorized as per their efficiency scores into highly efficient, moderately efficient and less efficient companies through a process called Tier Analysis. The chapter also includes an Improvement Path for the projects with low efficiencies. Furthermore, through the application of Kruskal Wallis test, the software development project efficiency is compared with team size to determine whether efficiency vary across various team size categories i.e. small, medium, large and extra large.
