Using the complexity weighting scheme shown in Table 5.2 (p. 138) and the function point complexity weighted table shown below, estimate the total function point count for this project. Assume historical data suggests that eight function points equal one person a month and six people can work on the project. Your table should look like the bottom part of Table 5.3 (p. 138). Where possible, be sure to use formulas.

Underneath your table, respond to the following questions:

What is the estimated project duration?

If 7 people are available for the project, what is the estimated project duration (to the nearest tenth)?

If the project must be completed in 4 months, how many people are needed for the project (to the nearest tenth)?
