Function Point Analysis (FPA) measures software functional size by quantifying the application or project functionality delivered to the user in Function Points (FP). It defines software functionality size in terms of user tasks and services as defined in the functional user requirements (FUR), regardless of implementation technology; non-functional requirements; application type; and software development process, strategy, or philosophy. Since some of these aspects may impact the purpose and scope of the count, how users express their business needs, and developers analyse them into software requirements; the measurement process must consider them to better align FP measurement with businesses decisions.

This document presents an overview of Kanban as background and provides guidance on FP measurement in the context of decoupled cadences, or iterationless agile development, with support of Kanban.

The term “decoupled cadences” refers to a development environment which differs from the usual time-boxed iteration (i.e. sprint). It decouples the activities of prioritization, development, and delivery. Each of these three processes presents its own cadence, best adjusted to its own natural level.
