 Software Estimation Using Function Point Analysis
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 two-day 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.
Eligibility Criteria:

organization? degree/diploma having minimum
of 1 year experience in Software
