PRICE TruePlanning Vision
What if Models & Estimates
Could be easily understood and explained?
Had the same basic structure?
Could be easily stored, found, and reused?
Could be shared across boundaries?
Easily worked together for total cost views?
Interfaced with projects budgets and measures?
Interfaced with general ledgers/ERP applications?
Interfaced with Earned Value Measurement systems?

Use Case Points
A use case describes a typical transaction between the user and the software. Use cases focus on the functions that a user may want to perform rather than on the way that the software will perform those functions
The Use Case Conversion Points sizing metric represents an extension of the Use Case Points first developed by Gustav Karner in 1993. Karner's metric is a function of a weighted count of the actors involved in the use case and a complexity factor based on the number of steps required to successfully complete the typical use case transaction.
Actors are weighted by a complexity factor:
Simple: External system interfaced using an API
Average: External system interfaces using a text based protocol
Complex: End user interfacing through a graphical user interface
