Is User Case Points estimation technique "TOP-DOWN" approach?
1 Answer
UCP estimation is not necessarily a TOP DOWN approach, because use cases are not always detailed from top to bottom. In fact, use cases are related to UML and RUP, trying to document the customer's requirements in technical and natural language. So the answer is no, it can be, but not always.
