Function point (FP) analysis is a measure of the size of an
information system based on the number and complexity of the
inputs, outputs and files with which a user sees and
interacts with. FPs are used in a manner analogous to LOC as
a measure of software productivity, quality and other
attributes. PERT is a network management technique used in
both the planning and control of projects. RAD is a
methodology that enables organizations to develop
strategically important systems faster while reducing
development costs and maintaining quality. CPM is used by
network management techniques such as PERT, to compute a
critical path.
