5 SCOPE makes it easy to upgrade from other tools
SCOPE can be downloaded from the Total Metrics WWW site and installed in minutes. You can import your historical count data into the SCOPE structure from:
• EXCEL spreadsheets
• Function Point WORKBENCHTM (all count details [transactions, data groups, links, notes and labels] as well as project and application details)
Comparison to FPW
• FPW only imports process and data group data from its own template Excel spreadsheets but any descriptions for the processes or notes documenting the count are not able to be imported
• FPW is not able to import any data from SCOPE
Benefits of SCOPE for easy implementation
o SCOPE allows you to quickly upgrade from your existing count environment to counting in SCOPE without risk of losing your historical count data |
