Economic Analysis
• Cost estimates
– acquisition or development costs
– operation and maintenance costs
• Benefit estimates
– tangible benefits
– intangible benefits

Estimating Costs
•10
Estimating Acquisition Cost
•11
Estimating Development Cost
• break project up into tasks
– estimate SDLC tasks independently
• use life cycle cost model
– e.g., 1-3-3-3 model
• take advantage of analogy/experience
– how much have similar projects cost?
• calculate function point metric
– estimate “size” of project from inputs, outputs, etc.
– apply productivity rate
•12
Estimating Operation and Support
• client/user personnel
• technical personnel
• media and supplies
• equipment and software support
– repair
– enhancement
•13
Estimating Tangible Benefits
• reduced costs
– manual operations
– computer operations
– programmed decisions
• increased revenue
– new services
– differentiated product
– faster delivery
– better quality
– larger market share
•14
Estimating Intangible Benefits
• information quality
– precision
– timeliness
– integration
– presentation
• job satisfaction
– participative design
– job enrichment

– A broad range of user classes and operational settings
will enhance the reader’s understanding of the operations
of the system FOR ALL CLASSES OF USERS!!
• Technical Writing
– Keep the level of technical jargon as low as possible
• Stakeholder Identification
– It is important to identify all those groups and individuals
