The ability to accurately predict software effort, duration, and staffing levels continues to plaque software development organizations. The root cause of the problem is an inability to know the functional size of software projects, inconsistent and incomplete requirements. This three-day seminar addresses these two major areas.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
· Business Analysts, Software Managers;
· Project Mangers;
· Software Developers;
· Quality Assurance Analysts and Managers.

SEMINAR GOALS
At the end of the seminar participants will be able to:
· Accurately size software applications.
· Understand the value of consistent terminology when writing and reading requirements.
· Get requirements right the first time.
· Learn to how to ask probing and opened questions during the requirements process.
· Develop quantitative estimating models built upon a repeatable process.
· Avoid techno speak and avoid using jargon when working with the business and customers.
· Understand the difference between a software features and a benefits.
· Monitor and communicate the size of software applications throughout the entire software lifecycle.

SEMINAR OUTLINE
Concepts of Function Point Counting
Function Point Analysis, Uses and Benefits
