Software Cost Estimation Techniques

Three-Point Estimation

Improve accuracy by using optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates to minimize risk and resource waste.

Function Point Analysis

Estimate software size by analyzing business functionalities and user interactions to improve planning and budgeting.

COCOMO Model (Basic)

Calculate effort, cost, and project duration based on software size using the original COCOMO algorithm.

COCOMO II Model

Advanced model for estimating modern software projects with greater flexibility, accuracy, and scalability.

Delphi Estimation

Gather expert consensus to estimate software cost and effort through multiple anonymous feedback rounds.
