SUMMARY:WCA Chapter Virtual Luncheon: A Fool with an AI Tool…is still a Fool
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next Washington Capital Area Chapter (WCAC) International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) Luncheon: \nSUBJECT: ICEAA WCAC Virtual Luncheon: A Fool with an AI Tool…is still a Fool\nPRESENTED BY: Dan French (Cobec) and Carol Dekkers (Quality Plus Technologies)\nTIME: March 11\, 2026 | 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. \nAdditionally\, 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:\nDan French has 25+ years in a variety of IT roles including analyst\, developer\, tester\, project management\, software metrics and software estimation.  He’s developed CMMi and ISO compliant process improvement and software estimation processes.  \nDan holds a B.S. in Economics from Virginia Tech and holds certification as a Lifetime CFPS\, PMP and CSM.  He’s served as the Certification Director on the IPFUG Board of Directors and is currently the Partnership & Events Director.   Previously he served as the Chair of the Certification Committee & Functional Software Sizing Committee (FSSC). He’s  authored numerous white papers/presentations on software metrics\, Agile\, and estimation. \nCarol Dekkers is founder of Quality Plus Technologies\, Inc. and works with clients who want to succeed with software measurement\, estimation\, and project management. Carol is a frequent presenter at ICEAA and other international conferences and she holds credentials from ICEAA\, IFPUG\, the Project Management Institute\, and the Green Project Management foundation. \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/27127133438689?p=Ok6WuUC0JRKfphGEbA \nMeeting ID: 271 271 334 386 89 \nPasscode: 3pD9pX6P \nNeed help? | System reference \nDial in by phone \n+1 929-352-1792\,\,332145873# United States\, New York City \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 332 145 873#
