![]() ![]() For example, you might remember something like being told that you can’t watch TV past 7PM, or that you have to eat vegetables when you were growing up. These are just like the rules that you grew up with a kid except that they pertain to expenses on projects. ![]() So, one critical area when it comes to controlling costs is expense policies. Let’s look at one awesome example of the Project Module and get an estimate as to how long it would take to develop this or something like this. So, we have to develop every component ourselves. But I am calculating functional points as if none of this was developed. I’m using a form already developed here for visualization and learning purposes. ![]() Quick Functional note on make-believe form development project What you are doing here would still prove to be more beneficial over the long-term than “top of the head” estimates. Most places say that you should use at least 3 different formulas to come up with an estimate involving function points. They have been around forever, and there are a million different derivatives of how they are applied. I’m leaving out things like transactions, DETs, RETs and what not because I want you to focus on understanding. Also, no one ever learned functional points without practicing. There are many things that I need to tell you about this wonderful estimation method. I have a real busy week, so I won’t be able to post until next week, but please read it first. ![]() Before using function points, please read part 3 of this blog post. I’m going to personally leave out some things so that you can focus on the core intrinsic benefits of function points and how they are calculated. My assumption in this tutorial is that you have never ever touched a function point, so we will start simple here. That’s the ultimate power of Functional points, and I hope that you see this. Suddenly, I had a way quantify technical work that the Developer, Functional Specialist, and Manager could understand. Functional points changed my implementation life. ![]()
