Hi, Please help me identify a mechanism to measure productivity of a project which is non FP generating as for example; pure migration, data changes only without altering the logical structure of the database or providing implementation support etc where no development or enhancement to the application is involved. Thanks in advance. Regards, Rashmi Sinha | ||

Dear Rashmi, In case of migration (I assume you mean one technology to another) the size does not change. So you use the old size. We get the implementation support effort as a % of SDLC effort. We have an implementation productivity and use that to get the effort. For data changes (I assume you mean data cleaning) as there is no change in data structure there is no change in the functionality and hence no change in FP size. You might want to extrapolate the size to get this but I have not seen that approach used anywhere. Hope that helps, Pranay | ||

Depending on certain cases of migration, IFPUG-CPM allows for conversion function points. Might be interesting to read it (I have not yet used it so cannot give more details and prefer to ask you to go through CPM). | ||

Thanks Pranay, Peter, The responses are thought provoking and do give me pointers to start with. Thanks for your guidance. Regards, Rashmi |
