Software Estimation Using Function Point Analysis

Eligibility Criteria:

Any participant withdegree/diploma having minimumof 1 year experience in Softwaredevelopment, Quality, Pre-sales,Marketing, Requirementengineering, Project/ProgramManagement etc

CertificateCertificate of Participation will beissued by OptiRisk India

Program Overview:

More than 50% of software projects fail because of time and cost

overrun. Many such failures are traced back to poor estimation.

Ad-hoc estimation not only can ruin the project success but also your

career as a programmer or a project manager.

Software project estimation is a process of expectation setting which

forms the basis of quantifying the resources required to accomplish

certain goals based on certain cleared stated assumptions. It

comprises of Size, Effort and Schedule estimations.

Function Point Estimation (FPA) proposed by IFPUG (International

Function Point Users Group) is industry leading software estimation

technique. Learning and following FPA by IFPUG could save you

countless late night stays at office, and also could put you on fast-

track to promotion.

This live virtual hands-on workshop on FPA would demystify the

notions about estimation and equip the software professional to

handle the subject of estimation with improved accuracy to tide over

the above said negative points.

Why is it so important for software development

organization?
