Abstract
The project manager plays the crucial role in the success or failure of the project. The primary success factor of the project is accurate forecast of the effort estimations. Unfortunately accurate forecast of effort estimations stems from the matured organizations,, others owing to lack of history databases. Estimations can be done in two ways, one is by estimating the size of the project and the other is by total functionality of the project. The primary one is suitable only when the software experts can able to claim the size of the software project in the efficient way, but it is not achieved and only 10 percent of the projects are delivered in on time. Most of the software experts suggesting that instead of estimating the size of the project it is better to go for estimating the total functionality of the project. As a result Function point concept is introduced. This paper explains about how the Function points can be measured from the points of relationships of UML with a case study.
