Introduction to Function Point Analysis (FPA)

This one-day introductory course is meant for anyone interested in FPA and how it can be applied. Participants will gain an overview of Function Point methodology and will learn on a very high level how to do a function point analysis. With this understanding, the class will then explore how FPA can be applied for estimating, tracking, and benchmarking software projects. 

Good sizing is critical to good estimation, planning, and tracking. For
business systems, the IFPUG Function Point standard is accepted throughout the world. It gives an accurate, reliable, and objective measure of the size of a business software product. This two-day QSM workshop
will give the participants the ability to measure the function point size of
a software product or project from a written specification, according to 
IFPUG standards. The course also demonstrates how to use Function Point sizing in SLIM-Estimate and SLIM-Control. Both new developments and
enhancements of existing systems are covered. The training is given by a
highly experienced, IFPUG certified (CFPS) trainer from QSM. Available in
English or Dutch.

Function Point Sizing Early in the Lifecycle 

This one-day course is designed to follow the two-day Function Point Analysis course.  The class helps participants develop knowledge and experience counting function points in the early stages of a software development. Because detailed requirements do not yet exist, most of the basic uncertainty in the early stages of a software estimate is in the size.  Participants will learn techniques for counting function points in the early stages of a project and for dealing with uncertainty in estimating the final system size.
