Abstract


Information Technology (IT) productive capacity estimation to attend to the Companies Strategic Planning is a constant need. IT needs to identify the productive capacity and estimate the systems future need to align its objective with the company strategic objectives. This document presents an experience from the IT productive capacity estimation trial application, using a government financial institution strategic planning. The Function Points Analysis - FPA and COnstructive COst Model - COCOMO metrics were utilized to elaborate these estimations.
Keywords: Productive Capacity, estimative, FPA, COCOMO
