How many people should the counting in an organization?
There are three possible ways to assign function point counting responsibility: to everyone, to a small group or to a single person. All project personnel should be familiar with function points so that they understand how they are being applied, but most of them will not be able to count them accurately. They count them too infrequently. They do a count, work on development for six months or more, and then are expected to count again. They have forgotten the rules by then. Constant retraining is the only way to get accurate counts from everyone, and this is often not cost effective. For a large organization, a small group involved with function point counting and other estimating activity is ideal. The group should be counting frequently enough to stay current with the rules. By being independent of the projects, they will be able to provide less biased feedback regarding the projects.
