Accurate estimates play an important role in the success of web projects.
Estimating for an Internet based project is difficult to define as there is no single model for effort estimation with the number of focus areas that drives the project. As there is no established method of estimation it is difficult to arrive at the total effort and hence the staffing and schedule is also not derived correctly. In this paper we will take a real case study of an Internet project that we have executed for our client. The UUCP is a modification of the Function Points method of estimation. This should be considered as a means of arriving at a ballpark estimate of the effort involved in developing the system.
