每个国家/地区的估计成熟度差异?

[哈罗德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 通过 5. Check for instance: 关联

I know functional size measurement is important in many countries. In a number of countries, like the Netherlands, 波兰, Brazil and South-Korea, it is (经常) 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.

嗨哈罗德,

I don’t think that many customer organisations in Ireland are using FSM, so the obvious answer would be a NO for Ireland.
On the five-point scale I think most of the companies in Ireland would rate as level 1. I expect that the larger software companies reach level 4 要么 5.

嗨哈罗德,

As per my personal observation and view,
– FSM is mandatory in most of the IT vendor organizations (印度) 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

问候, Sridevi

嗨哈罗德,

I have been performing FPA for customer in Germany, 英国, 奥地利, 法国, 意大利, 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.
