The document outlines a 1-day instructor-led training course on Function Point Analysis (FPA) based on the IFPUG release 4.3 standard, which is used for software estimation and measurement. It covers the fundamentals of FPA, including gathering user requirements and calculating functional size measurement, aimed at professionals in various software development roles. No prerequisites are required, and participants will earn 8 PDUs and receive a hard copy of the courseware.

1. Format: Instructor-led Classroom Training
Duration: 1 day
Description
Software Estimation
and Measurement using
IFPUG FPA
Function Point Analysis (FPA) is a metric for a broad range of software environments,
which is technology independent and supports the need for estimating, project
management, measuring quality and gathering requirements. Ever since it was rst
made public by Allan Albrecht, FPA has been widely accepted as the sizing
measure of clear business signicance. In 1999, functional sizing was adopted by
the International Standards Organization as the standard for software measurement.
FPA is a technique to break systems into smaller components, so they can be better
understood and analyzed. This FPA methodology provides an objective, comparative
measure that assists in the evaluation, planning, management and control of
software production.
Our 1 day training provides a complete and in-depth understanding of the Function
Point Analysis technique based on the IFPUG Release 4.3 standard. You will learn
the basics of how function points measure software by quantifying their user
functionality based on the logical design, and how this method provides a
structured technique for problem solving.
