“ISMA is the foremost conference for those who are serious about the value of Function Point Analysis and promoting its use as an estimation tool,” said Mike Harris, President of DCG and DCG-SMS. “We have helped a number of clients utilize Function Point Analysis to size software deliverables, resulting in quantitative and qualitative data to support better metrics of the software development process. As such, we are excited to participate in ISMA, advancing our own knowledge of FPA, as well as sharing our expertise and experiences.”

The conference brings together leading industry experts, practitioners, and technology vendors to discuss the latest happenings in the field of software metrics.
