Description
Summary:The success of a Software project is determined by how well the initial estimates have done. Hence, the effort and schedule estimates are essential in Software Project planning stages. Portal and Content Management (PCM) projects have been facing critical challenges while estimating the effort. The Organization has adopted the Function Point Analysis technique (FP) to overcome such challenges. Further, the organization has developed guidelines to apply FP on PCM projects. The key objective of this paper is to provide guidelines to estimate the effort of PCM projects by employing FP to avoid cost overruns and unproductive use of resources. Experimental results are proved that the proposed methodology is yielding better results by fixing the potential challenges. It is further ensured that the methodology leads to better estimate of the project cost, optimal resource utilization, on-time project delivery and others.
