Nowadays, Function Point and Use Case Point metrics have been largely adopted in the software industry to measure the size of the development work of the project. Metrics should be used in conjunction with estimating techniques such as COCOMO. There has been an increasing interest in monitoring and controlling project performance. Earned Value Analysis present itself as an easy-to-understand technique that helps to monitor and control project's performance. This article presents a sequence of steps which allows the integration of software functional sizing metrics, COCOMO II and Earned Value Analysis in the processes recommended by the PMBoK for planning and controlling software development projects. The goal of such a sequence of steps is to help project managers to plan, monitor and control software development projects using the PMBoK and software functional metrics. The two metrics were chosen as the basic units due to their large acceptance by industry. COCOMO is a technique largely adopted in the software engineering area. A case study using an actual software project data was undertaken to evaluate our proposal. An add-in for Microsoft Project tool was developed to support that such a sequence of steps can be automated and integrated.
