Topic: A Function Point Overview with Potential Application in Systems
Engineering
Abstract: Function Point Analysis is the world’s most widely used software measurement technique. The International Function Point Users Group
(IFPUG) is the governing body for the Function Point ISO standard, certification, and testing. As the current President of IFPUG and a long
time Certified Function oint Specialist, Joe will introduce the concepts related to function point counting, their applicability as a sizing
measurement and project tracking mechanism, and their potential use beyond software. Cautions related to “faking estimations” and biases in estimating
will also be revealed.
Presenter: Joe Schofield retired from Sandia National Laboratories as a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff after a 31-year career. During twelve of those
years he served as the SEPG Chair for an organization of about 400 personnel which was awarded a SW-CMM® Level 3 in 2005. He continued as the migration lead to CMMI® Level 4

process reengineering. Beyond Sandia, he has taught graduate courses since 1990 and is a licensed girl’s mid-school basketball coach. He has over four dozen published papers,
conference presentations and keynotes—including contributions to the books IT Measurement, Certified Function Point Specialist Exam Guide, The Economics of Software Quality,
and a software measurement book to be released in 2011. He is a SEI-authorized Instructor for the Introduction to the CMMI® and two other SEI courses, Certified Software
Quality Analyst, Certified Function Point Specialist, Certified Software Measurement Specialist, and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Joe is a frequent presenter in the Software

In Memoriam: John Wirsbinski (1969 - 2009) (6 Jul 2009)
On April 24, 2009, a rising star in the Systems Engineering community was tragically removed from our midst. John Wirsbinski, 40, died in a motorcycle
accident leaving his wife, Shasta, and their twins, son Collens and daughter Lauren, without a beloved husband and father. As many of you know, John
was very active in the Systems Engineering community.
In addition to being a board member at large of the New Mexico Enchantment Chapter, he was also the co-chair of the Security Working Group, as well as
working on his Doctorate in Systems Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology.
For those desiring, a Memorial Fund has been set up to benefit the children. Donations can be made to the Wirsbinski Memorial Fund
