What do the numbers in the colored circles mean?

The numbers in the colored circles refer to the functional size:

  • OK. This requirement  has successfully been sized at 4 COSMIC function points.  4 is a suitably small enough size and no further splitting should be required.

  • OK. This requirement  has successfully been sized at 9 COSMIC function points.  9 is fairly large, and is likely to involve 3 functional steps, which is fairly common.

  • Candidate for splitting.  This requirement  has successfully been sized at 24 COSMIC function points.  24 is large and it may need splitting or simplifying.

  • Ambiguous, no clear functional intent detected,  take a look at the tips for help on the suggested changes to make it clearer.  You should reword this requirement and save, until sizing is successful.

  • Not yet analysed.  Press save or visit the analyse page to analyse any unanalysed stories.
