SUMMARY:WCA Chapter Virtual Luncheon: A Fool With an AI Tool Is Still a Fool...
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month’s Washington Capital Area Chapter (WCAC) International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) Luncheon:  \n  \nSUBJECT: WCAC ICEAA August Luncheon: A Fool with an AI Tool Is Still a Fool:  Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for IFPUG Function Point Analysis and Software Estimation \n  \nPRESENTED BY: Carol Dekkers\, Quality Plus Technologies & Dan French\, Cobec\, Inc. \nTIME: August 27\, 2025 | 12:00 to 1:00pm eastern \nSUMMARY:\nThis presentation will explore the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in sizing software projects using the International Function Point User Group (IFPUG) function points methodology and software estimates. As organizations increasingly seek efficiency and accuracy in project estimation\, AI offers transformative potential by automating the function point counting process. By leveraging machine learning algorithms\, AI can analyze historical project data\, identify patterns\, and predict function point counts with enhanced precision. This not only streamlines the estimation process but also reduces human error and bias. Additionally\, AI-driven tools can provide insights into project complexity and resource allocation\, enabling more informed decision-making. The synergy between AI and IFPUG function points represents a significant advancement in software estimating practices\, facilitating better project planning and management. Ultimately\, this approach enhances the overall reliability of software project estimations\, paving the way for successful project delivery in an increasingly dynamic technological landscape. \nSpeakers:  \nCarol Dekkers – Carol Dekkers is a software cost estimation expert whose contracts include development of SiSE at DHS CAD since 2019. She is president of Quality Plus Technologies\, specializing in working with organizations who want to keep their promises to their clients through realistic\, data-founded estimates. She was also the lead author for the ICEAA CEBoK-S and received the ICEAA Educator of the Year for that work in 2022. She holds a BSc (MechEng) and is an IFPUG CFPS (Fellow)\, a PMP\, Certified Scrum Master and a P.Eng. (Canada). Ms. Dekkers has presented many times at ICEAA. \nDan French – With 20+ years of experience in a variety of IT roles including analyst\, developer\, tester\, project management\, software metrics and software estimation. He has developed CMMi and ISO compliant process improvement and software estimation processes. Dan holds a B.S. in Economics from Virginia Tech and holds certification as a Lifetime CFPS\, PMP and CSM. He recently served as the Certification Director on the IPFUG Board of Directors and is currently the chair. Previously he served as the Chair of the Functional Software Sizing Committee (FSSC). He’s authored numerous white papers/presentations. \n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \nJoin the meeting now \nMeeting ID: 235 764 603 435 8 \nPasscode: RA3SB3X8
