Team/Corporate Training
Our Corporate training is carefully structured to help executives keep ahead of rapidly evolving business environments.Description
IFPUG, the International Function Point Users Group, has recognized two software sizing metrics that are complementary to each other. While Function Points have been used for years to measure the business functionality of a software application, SNAP is a recently introduced measure of non-functional software size. SNAP (Software Non-Functional Assessment Process) has quickly received worldwide acceptance into the sizing community, and is globally used in collaboration with Function Points to aid in project estimation, quality analysis and performance productivity.
When both measures are used in tandem, you can gain a deeper perception of project delivery and application maintenance. Function points size the data flow through a software application, while SNAP measures the non-functional requirements, and when used in conjunction they provide a host of benefits to the project.
Our two day course in Holistic Software Size Estimation using FPA and SNAP is the best path to get started with the IFPUG method, and covers all the concepts related to estimation and measurement processes in software projects. Using real-world case studies, learn to implement best practices in IFPUG FPA and SNAP, and gain valuable insights into the components that make up your software applications.
On successful completion of the course, you will receive a Course Completion Certificate from KnowledgeHut with Credits (1 credit per hour of training).
What you will learn?
- Definitions, rules and guidelines of FPA and SNAP
- Details of the various estimation methodologies, tools and implementation techniques
- How to identify logical functional components of software, and assess function point values
- How to better plan and estimate projects
- Understand process performance baselines, and how to identify areas of process improvement
- How to increase performance efficiency and functional stability
- How to quantify the impacts of non-functional strategies
- How to provide specific inputs when detailing non-functional issues
You will also get:
- Two day instructor-led classroom training
- Progress checks, counting exercises and live case studies
- Condensed slide pack of both IFPUG FPA and SNAP
- Two real time case studies for IFPUG FPA, and one case study for SNAP
- Downloadable e-book
- SNAP Assessment Practices Manual (soft copy)
- One month warranty period during which the participants can take our support
- 16 PDUs
Who Can Attend?
Professionals who are involved in counting and using Function Points must learn how to assess the non-functional SNAP entities as well, as both go hand-in-hand.
An indicative participant mix would include:
- Project Managers
- Delivery Managers
- Business Analysts
- Software Metrics Specialists

I recently completed the CISSP certification course, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! The instructors were highly knowledgeable and experienced, providing valuable insights and guidance throughout the training. The real-world case studies and capstone projects were the highlights for me, as they allowed me to apply my knowledge to practical scenarios. Thanks to this course, I feel confident in my cybersecurity skills and ready to take on any challenge. Highly recommended!
Enrolling in the CISSP certification course was one of the best decisions I've made for my cybersecurity career. The course materials were well-structured and covered all the essential domains in-depth. The instructors were patient and supportive. The practical experiences gained through the case studies and capstone projects were instrumental in enhancing my problem-solving skills. With the comprehensive support provided, I felt confident and well-prepared for the CISSP exam.
At KnowledgeHut, I had one of my best educational experiences. The course is extensive and contains many materials, including videos, PPTs, and PDFs. In addition, all the trainers and the support staff were incredibly accommodating and accessible.
Attended Data Science with Python Certification workshop in August 2022I successfully transitioned my career I am a SDE who was unhappy with my job. I took a giant leap of faith and transitioned to a Data Science career after completing KnowledgeHut’s Data Science bootcamp. I love the challenges and the paycheck! Thank you Knowledgehut for giving me the confidence that I could do it. All of you who are not too happy with your present role- there's a whole world of opportunity out there. Take the first step.
Attended Data Science Bootcamp with AI workshop in July 2021I am really happy with the trainer because the training session went beyond my expectations. Trainer has got in-depth knowledge and excellent communication skills. This training has actually prepared me for my future projects.
Attended Agile and Scrum workshop in April 2020I would like to extend my appreciation for the support given throughout the training. My trainer was very knowledgeable and I liked his practical way of teaching. The hands-on sessions helped us understand the concepts thoroughly. Thanks to Knowledgehut.
Attended Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)® workshop in June 2020The teaching methods followed by Knowledgehut is really unique. The best thing is that I missed a few of the topics, and even then the trainer took the pain of taking me through those topics in the next session. I really look forward to joining KnowledgeHut soon for another training session.
