AB - Agile Agile methodologies have gained significant popularity among software development organizations.
While agile methodologies minimize formal processes, they still require estimation methodologies for development cost appraisal. In agile software projects, story points are used to estimate development man-hours by comparing the estimated man-hours to the actual man-hours, but they do not provide the size of the software developed, which makes it difficult to compare the productivity achieved in a project, or to compare performance across projects. In this study, we compare the effectiveness of function point-based and story point-based effort estimation from an agile perspective through a case analysis and observe that function point-based estimation is more accurate and allows for function point-based productivity calculations with less deviation than productivity calculated with story points. This led to the improvement of story points as a standard measure in agile software projects.
