This chapter presents different approaches and experiences in the practical use of Functional Size Measurement. We begin with a report about experiences of an organization that was able to develop a Function Point Prognosis and present related information from other organizations about early Function Points, also called Function Point estimation or FP proposals.
This is only one example presented here since other organizations did similar research. There is strong evidence that different environments lead to different results. This means that each organization should develop its own heuristic solution(s). Nevertheless, comparisons with other organizations are valuable for the enterprise.
