Abstract
The use of productivity models for enhancement projects is illustrated, and the reliability of function points-based models is reported. The results of a field study at a major Canadian financial institution indicate that function points-based productivity models are within the range of the recommended criteria for good models in software engineering: a mean relative error of ±25% in 75% of cases
