Why IFPUG?

Best Software Gives You More Value

Industry-Leading Metrics Ensure Objective Measurement of Value

Software development projects are only transformative if they bring substantial value to your organization.

Do yours?

IFPUG can answer this question with an objective benchmarking measure that accurately assesses your software development productivity and cost and compares it to industry standards.

How do your development practices relate to those of your industry peers? What processes need improvement? Which projects are more valuable than others? When does the cost exceed the value?

IFPUG offers precise software sizing methodologies that systematically answer each question with an array of benchmarking benefits.

What is Function Point Analysis (FPA)?

ISO-certified Function Point Analysis (FPA) is the industry’s standard de-facto technique for measuring software value, based on the business requirements. The methodology measures all the distinct functions and capability provided to the users.

In addition to helping you understand your current software development processes, FPA also helps:

  • Identify and analyze process improvement opportunities
  • Define realistic expectations
  • Evaluate developer and team productivity
  • Assess application size and complexity
  • Mitigate software process risk
  • Reduce cost and effort
