Abstract: The mechanics of Function Points counting have received some attention in past articles. Also, to some extent, has the mechanics of starting a metrics area. However, the area that most articles tend to avoid is the political one. This article will spotlight some of the typical political battles that have to be fought to establish a metrics area and the solutions that were found. These will be drawn from the experiences of the metrics team at Sun Life Assurance, Bristol. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
