Definition of an estimateGetting grip on IT cost and schedule
An estimate is an analytical and unbiased prediction of how long it takes and what it will cost
The bias comes from the interplay with targets, commitments and plans

Viable estimation = Reliable estimatesGetting grip on IT cost and schedule
Analytical Can you verify in some way what your experts tell you?
Unbiased Will an expert give the same answer twice?
Prediction 100% certainty costs too much time and resources!

Functional Size : Function Point AnalysisTranslating requirements to manageable numbers
FPA stands for FunctionPointAnalysis
What the software should be able to do (functionality)Functionexpressed in a number Pointbased on an objectively described method Analysis
Something intangible like functionality becomes a physical number that can be used for calculations
