Software size measurement of knowledge management portal with use case point

Knowledge Management portal is a system to support Knowledge Management process, in order to create, capture, develop, share, reuse and optimize the knowledge and particularly in Bina Nusantara University which has implemented Knowledge Management System (KMS) since 2002. However, this KMS need to be measured in order to know how better this KMS in term of the software size. The BINUS KMS will be measured in term of their software size in functionality perspective with use case point method. This metric of KMS will be used by management to know how better the software size, complexity level and effort to development in numbering. Measurement of software size with software metric such as Use Case Point upon use case diagram for BINUS knowledge Management Portal shows that the project has medium software size with score Use Case Point (UCP) = 108.56 and has estimate effort will be developed in 2,064 hours (or in 258 days or 51.6 weeks or 12.9 months) and has development cost for 516,000,000.00 rupiah (Indonesian currency). Use Case Point, estimate effort and project value will powerful to help management in order to make decision regarding the implementation of IT software project development in term of time, money and people.
