Presented by Sushmitha Anantha and Fabrizio Di Cola
Session Description: Chapter 6 in Part 1 of the current SNAP APM addresses determining of the Non-functional Size for an Enhancement Project, but examples provided do not clearly bring out the distinction between components CHG, CHGA and CHGB. This may lead to wrong practices while sizing SNAP in enhancement projects. The purpose of this iTip is to provide additional examples and to address scenarios that may be encountered in real world.Significant change in the way CHG (based on the delta change brought in by the enhancement), CHGB (considering the situation before the enhancement) and CHGA (considering the overall situation after the enhancement) are calculated, indicates fundamental difference between the conceptual approaches of towards sizing the enhancement projects in case of FPA and SNAP.It is very important to master this subtle change in the methodology to successfully apply SNAP methods while sizing enhancement projects
Main Topics:
- Terms and Definitions
- Sizing Problem for Measurement of Change in Non-functional Requirements
- The Possible Solutions for the certain Scenarios
- Applying the APM Correctly
- Difference between FP and SNAP.
Benefits for Participants –
- To understand subtle change in the methodology to successfully apply SNAP
- The approach allows SNAP to be introduced into a company without necessarily having to calculate nonfunctional baselines.
