About this IFPUG Function Points from Scratch course

In this workshop, you will learn the concepts and techniques of Function Point Analysis (FPA) from scratch, to measure the software size of Development and Maintenance Projects and Information Systems Applications.

Once you complete this course, you will be able to make estimates and measurements based on the method defined by IFPUG.

The course will be based on two pillars: theory and practice. Throughout the course, attendees will carry out multiple didactic practical examples to understand the different steps of the methodology, which will be discussed and solved.

Prerequisites

The workshop is open to anyone regardless of their background, although knowledge of IT project development is recommended.
