First thought on Enhancement Project Function Point

Its exam time I am very perplexed if tomorrow i go to office and my client ask me to add new column in all the datafile of the project as following.

* Creataion Date
* Last Updated date
* Also show it on the screen the creation date and last Updated date.
* May be in report also cleint want to see these dates.


What is the estimate of FPC of this enhancement project. I assume its as good as developing the project from Scratch.

Also the adjustment factors remains the same.

I think We need some revision of the FPC for the enhancement project as its bit not realistic. It really very much over over exaggeration of the Fact that Changes are unrealistic.

Other fact that the adjustment factor also doesn't change. it is assumed to be the original value. Now if client argues that we never change any thing here.

What we can say....multiply by (.65) in this case !! Its true that we are doing nothing in this case. Enhancement adjustment factor as it is automatically taken care by the original project.

But still factor remain toooooo high. what is your thought, how we can we realistic about this ?

  1. Project Function Point : is bit need to be refined in this case. But one thing is sure that it is quite simple case which is not really asked for the changes. It has very low value to the system function.
