Applicability of COSMIC Full Function Points in an administrative environment

Experiences of an early adopter

Vogelezang, F., Lesterhuis, A.

Rabobank is reshaping its systems portfolio of Rabobank from dedicated product
systems to a network of generic services with a shared data source. In this
environment Function Point Analysis no longer fits the sizing needs. An alternative
was found in the COSMIC Full Function Points method. Because of the absence of
benchmark data a conversion formula was derived for projects that were measurable
in both COSMIC Full Function Points (End User Viewpoint) and Function Point
Analysis.
