About SCOPE

"Designed by the world experts in Function Points

SCOPE designer, Pam Morris has been at the forefront of functional size measurement since 1992 when she set up and project managed the ISO standard for Functional Size Measurement Standards (ISO/IEC 14143 : 1- 6). Pam was a member of the IFPUG Counting Practices Committee from 1993 to 2000 and author and or reviewer of all the IFPUG 4 series CPM. She worked for Charismatek and in 1991 she designed the first generation Function Point Software Tool, the Function Point WORKBENCH^TM. 

SCOPE was designed in 2002 for Total Metrics to address all the limitations experienced by us and our clients with the first generation tools. Ms Morris has been on the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) since its inception and has incorporated ISO, IFPUG and ISBSG process standards into SCOPE. IFPUG Function Point counting has always been Total Metrics core business and since 1994, our consultants have counted millions of function points. Their ideas, requirements and those of our clients have been distilled into SCOPE to bring you the leading edge tool in its class.

SCOPE since its release in 2004, has quickly become the function point counting tool of choice in over 15 countries. Each day more organisations are moving away from older generation methods such as Excel and FPW to migrate to SCOPE.
