Modeling of project revenue within IT consulting firms (English)
Abstract [sv]

I samarbete med ett IT-konsultföretag baserat i Sverige syftar denna kandidatuppsats till attundersöka om intäkter på projektnivå kan modelleras med hjälp av multipel linjär regression. Insamlad data innehöll relevanta regressorer rörande bemanning, prissättning och produktivitet för enskilda projekt.Slutligen, baserat på resultaten av modellen, kopplar vi resultaten till finansiellakontrollsystem och ger en databaserad rekommendation om lämpliga kontrollsystem som cheferna kan utnyttja för att maximera intäkterna på projektnivå. 

Resultaten visar starka korrelationer mellan ett urval av regressorerna och intäkterna på projektnivå. Å andra sidan ger den kategoriska variabeln Bransch en något mer felaktig korrelation då några av nivåerna är insignifikanta.Resultaten kopplades sedan samman med relevant litteratur. Slutligen diskuteras också potentiella förbättringar, främst när det gällermätning av kostnader på projektnivå för att möjliggöra modellering av projektlönsamhet.

Abstract [en]

In cooperation with an IT-consultancy based in Sweden, this bachelor thesis sets out to investigate whether revenue on a project level can be modelled with multiple linear regression. The data collected were relevant regressors concerning the staffing, pricing, and productivity of individual projects. Lastly, based on the findings of the model, we connect the results to financial control systems and provide a data-based recommendation on suitable control systems for the managers to enact for maximizing revenue on a project level.

The results display strong correlations between a selection of the regressors and project level revenue. On the other hand, the categorical variable Industry provides a somewhat more inaccurate correlation due to some of the levels being insignificant. Furthermore, the results were connected to the relevant literature. Finally, potential improvements of the control systems are also discussed, mainly concerning measuring costs on a project level and thus enabling modelling of project profitability.
