David Consulting Group Announces New PMI-certified Function Point Training Course

MALVERN, Pennslyvania - March 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Malvern, PA – David Consulting Group (http://www.davidconsultinggroup.com/), the premier global provider of Application Development & Maintenance (ADM) Support solutions for software optimization, has announced that its long-established training course, Certified Function Point Specialist (CFPS) Preparation (http://davidconsultinggroup.com/training/cfps.aspx), has now been PMI-certified for eight PDU credits.

The course prepares candidates to take (or to re-take, as required every three years) their CFPS examination. It refreshes participants on the fundamentals of counting and applying function points, while also reviewing the rules contained in latest release of The International Function Point Users’ Group (IFPUG) Counting Practices Manual.  

“The key to reliable ADM metrics is being able to compare projects consistently. Using Function Point Analysis to size projects requires discipline and knowledge, and this is reflected in the rigor of the CFPS Exam,” said Mike Harris (http://www.davidconsultinggroup.com/why/management_team.a...), CEO of David Consulting Group. “Over the years, our class has helped many candidates successfully prepare for and pass the exam, including our own staff.”

DCG now provides three PMI-certified classes:

• CFPS Preparation (8 PDU Credits)

• Function Point Fundamentals (IFPUG 4.3 Compliant; 16 PDU credits) – An introductory course ideal for learning the basics of Function Point Analysis.

• Agile Practical Techniques (20 PDU Credits) – A three-day customizable workshop designed to help developers and process improvement practitioners develop an understanding of Agile techniques.
