Schatting looptijdverschillen per land?

[Harold van Heeringen]

Using functional size measurement in combination with relevant historical data and parametric estimation models is considered to be an industry best practice for more mature ( when it comes to software estimation maturity) organizations. Dan Galorath has published the software estimation maturity model and formal sizing is part of maturity levels 2 door 5. Check for instance: koppeling

I know functional size measurement is important in many countries. In a number of countries, like the Netherlands, Polen, Brazil and South-Korea, it is (vaak) mandatory for IT suppliers to provide a function point analysis as a part of a bid for certain government agencies. I am interested if there are other countries in which government or customers in other industries demand a functional size measurement as part of a bid. In general I wonder if:

1. Is functional size measurement regarded as an important activity in software project estimation in your country?
2. How would you assess the overall estimation maturity in your country?

I hope to get responses from people from as many countries as possible.

Hallo Harold,

Ik denk niet dat veel klantorganisaties in Ierland FSM gebruiken, dus het voor de hand liggende antwoord zou een NEE zijn voor Ierland.
Op de vijfpuntsschaal denk ik dat de meeste bedrijven in Ierland als niveau zouden scoren 1. Ik verwacht dat de grotere softwarebedrijven het niveau halen 4 of 5.

Hallo Harold,

As per my personal observation and view,
– FSM is mandatory in most of the IT vendor organizations (Indië) that are CMMI L5 certified, as the productivity measurement becomes mandatory
– However the 100% compliance and effectiveness is not seen in most projects unless there is mandate from the client organization
– Most effective usage of FSM is in engagements where the clients ask for it

vriendelijke groeten, Sridevi

Hallo Harold,

I have been performing FPA for customer in Germany, UK, Oostenrijk, Frankrijk, Italië, Spain and the US. I don’t know whether FPA is considered important in those countries, I only know that it is mandatory for specific customers.
