A method for analyzing project efficiency is provided. For a plurality of projects, a weight is assigned to each of a set of deliverables. The weight is associated with each of the deliverables for each of the plurality of projects. A status of each deliverable of a set of deliverables is determined for a project, where the status indicates that the deliverable has at least been started. A weight associated with each deliverable is used to generate an earned value. The earned value and an actual cost of the project are used to calculate an efficiency.

Project efficiency analysis

A system for automatically counting function points is provided. The system includes an electronic document, an analysis component, and a user interface. The electronic document contains a sequence diagram that specifies interactions in a software application. The analysis component can analyze the interactions in the sequence diagram to identify a start point and an end point in the sequence diagram as a function point. The analysis component can also maintain a count of the function points. The user interface can promote counting one or more function points when more than one of the sequence diagrams involve data that is part of a set of data objects identified via the user interface.
