Abstract

In practice the system analyst is confronted with a bulk of requirements. He has to structure and to decompose them until he can start to model the structure, functionality, and behavior of the information system. In such a situation it is hard to find out the progress of his work. A proposal on how to estimate this work progress is presented here.
