Description
The Function Point Analysis (FPA) team provides management with assessments on the project's performance and software development productivity trends. To pursue these objectives, the FPA team has acquired a specific expertise ie Function Points technique (market recognized certification) to size software projects. The team also uses a series of indicators to provide internal clients (Management, Project Leaders) with benchmarkable measures. Those measures contribute to a better understanding of the main drivers affecting projects performance and ultimately help Management to act on them.
You will be member of this team and will act as guardian and promoter of the Function Point analysis and project performance measures, best practices, workflows, processes, discipline and techniques.
In that context and as a first step, you will be trained in a software sizing technique (Function Point counting) and apply it using project design documentation. You will progressively be involved in the project performance analysis - collecting project information liaising with the different project stakeholders such as the project leader and designers and will issue the post-launch productivity benchmark report (a key milestone of the post-launch project evaluation process).
As the software measuring field is far from static, you will be looking into other measuring techniques like SNAP (Software Non-functional Assessment Process) to complement our Function Point sizing.
You will aid in researching market trends on the KPI's (key performance indicators) that Management wants to follow.
On top of this, you will be part of FPA team projects, continuously improving the team expertise, upgrading the bank's internal tools and processes.
Your profile:
Measurement-minded. Experience in the creation, evaluation and reporting of measurements (ideally Function Points, or alternatively KPIs or other performance-based measurement criteria of projects/programmes).
