Session Description:
LedaMC has established the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into the estimation process of function points, finetuning a model grounded in OpenAI’s GPT technology. This innovative approach enables the conversion of project requirements, presented in natural language across a diverse linguistic spectrum including English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, into immediate function point estimates. This methodology, known as Smart AI Estimation, combines the power of generative AI analysis with human expertise to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of project estimation efforts.
The essence of this innovation lies in the application of generative AI’s advanced natural language processing capabilities to directly translate complex software project specifications into function points—a universally recognized metric for assessing the size and complexity of software development projects. Such a paradigm shift in estimation methodology not only streamlines the assessment process but also substantially mitigates the labour traditionally associated with these estimations.
Incorporating this AI-enhanced model into LedaMC’s Quanter tool, the company has demonstrated remarkable improvements in estimation speed and accuracy. This evolution is particularly noteworthy in the context of a comparative study conducted by LedaMC, which assessed the performance enhancement of both senior and junior estimators facilitated by this tool. The findings reinforce the technology’s capacity to amplify the estimators’ efficiency.
This advancement is indicative of the transformative potential of AI within the realm of software development estimation, introducing a new era in which technology augments traditional methodologies to achieve superior outcomes.
This development shows that companies can improve operational effectiveness, project planning precision, and resource distribution by using AI-based estimation processes. It highlights a strategic shift towards using technological innovations to gain an advantage in software project management and delivery.
Benefits for Participants – Improvement in operational effectiveness, project planning precision, and resource distribution by using AI-based estimation processes.
