Abstract: Software effort and cost estimation are necessary at the early stage of the software development life cycle for the project manager to be able to successfully plan for the software project. Unfortunately, most of the estimation models depend on details that will be available at the later stage of the development process. This paper proposes to use Function Point Analysis in application with dataflow diagram to solve this timing critical problem. The proposed methodology was validated through the graduate student software projects at the Chulalongkorn University Business School. Although the results were disappointed but some interesting insights are worth looking into. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
