Delivery Rates Description Productivity Delivery Rate measures the rate at which a development project delivers function points to an end user.
Delivery rate is measured in function points per person month.
Because of the variations experienced among industry analysts, the industry is moving toward a delivery rate calculation based on hours per function point. Delivery rates can be customized to your industry, technology and type of development activity. The range of actual or expected delivery rates is significant within the financial institution group and even more so across all industry groups. Narrower bands or ranges of actual or expected delivery rates can be determined by considering other complexity issues such as those indicated above.
