FunctionPoint has been widely adopted by organizations seeking to improve resource allocation and project management across departments. Users have reported that the software has increased clarity and efficiency by providing clear project paths and enabling cross-department collaboration. Project managers utilize FunctionPoint to schedule and manage projects effectively, while creatives rely on it for project management and time tracking.

One key feature of FunctionPoint that has garnered positive feedback is its ability to track expenses and integrate with QuickBooks Desktop and Online. This integration has proven valuable to accounting managers, as it streamlines the month-end process by allowing them to easily enter all fees, estimates, and track project spending. Additionally, agencies have found value in using FunctionPoint for internal task management for clients, accurate project estimating, budget tracking, and managing billable time. Through its comprehensive features, FunctionPoint eliminates errors and ensures that no task or detail is missed during the job closing process.

Sales teams also benefit from FunctionPoint as they use it to create statements of work for clients. In fact, every employee in an organization can leverage the software to track time accurately and bill clients appropriately. By bridging the gaps between sales and execution of work, FunctionPoint contributes to seamless workflow management within organizations. Its advanced analysis abilities have been particularly commended by users who highlight that these capabilities were lacking in previous solutions.

Well suited in:
  • Project management from estimate creation to final billing.
  • Time tracking per job.
  • Delegating tasks internally (and externally if choosing to use this feature).
  • Creative agency environments where jobs have many moving parts and employees working on.
  • Customer contact information management.
  • Internal creative collaboration (brainstorming).
  • Management oversight allowing team leads to review hours logged per employee to each job.

At this time I can make no recommendations for Function Point. Unless the owners invest in updating and upgrading the platform, and revisit its current pricing structure, there is no reason to choose this software. UNLESS you are dedicated to QuickBooks. Then there may be a case to use the system.

Function Point is well suited for marketing, digital and advertising agencies, including small, medium and large. It has a lot of features that are useful and you can "grow into" some of the features that you may not use right away. It is probably more than is needed for a really small agency of less than 10 people.

For small to medium-sized agencies, it works great. We are particularly fast turn, so we needed something nimble and simple to keep things moving. Given the alternatives we tested, the front-end setup on jobs is streamlined and efficient, allowing for clarity on the full scope of the project, without slowing down the process of getting jobs into the creative queue.

I think Function Point would be suitable for any organization of any size looking to get a better handle on their internal tasks to get a better idea of who is working on what. It is very effective and easy to use for project estimating and budgeting. I don't think it is a great program for lead management. We've been trying to use it for that but are having some issues.

FunctionPoint (FP) is great for agencies performing any type of task oriented work. If your workflow cannot be broken down into a set of outlined and easy to define tasks (even if the output of the task is abstract) then FunctionPoint would be difficult to implement. FunctionPoint is fantastic at defining scope in an engagement and forcing those who execute the work to stay within that scope if tasks are well-defined. If your work requires a lot of group collaboration and sharing of tasks, you may struggle with FunctionPoint's inability to share a single task simultaneously.
