Requirements to the release estimation process

• Insight principal change components• Rapid Planning Process• Clear view on the estimation• Reconsideration options• Fast recalculation of alternatives

Approach• Volume determination of the 2011

implementation– FPA analysis on the System Blueprint

• Volume determination of DELTA– FPA analysis on the change-document

• FPA on new functionalities• FPA on touched functionalities• FPA on landscape impact

• Release Plan generation on FPA outcomeapplication fpa on Potatoe Purchase dept.'s SAP

Results: Easy maintainable “eBlueprint” available as a repository for future releases(Changed) Functionalities selectable and ready for FPAFPA and Estimation costs: 0,3% of total Project CostsReliability FPA based planning 90%Duration of the estimation process reduced with at least 50% ( 2 wks >>> 4days)Reconsideration of the planning instantly possiblePlanned /realized hours per funtion point available for performance control
