Reporting Function Point Counts
SCOPE provides over 40 different Function Point count reports. This tutorial shows how to selectively filter the reports so you only display the information and level of detail required.
Using the Count for Earned Value Reporting
SCOPE allows the User to identify the status of any Process or data group (using Numerical Attributes). In this case the user can assign to each process or data group how complete it is with respect to the project life cycle. This enables quantitative Earned Value type reporting based on the extent the functionality has been built tested and implemented.
SCOPE utilises a compare utility which automatically compares the contents of two reports line by line and highlights any different (changed) text , identifies when lines have been inserted or deleted. This enables you to quickly determine the difference between two SCOPE function poin counts.
Using the Count for Project Estimation
SCOPE enables the user to assign different productivity rates (hours of effort to build a funciton point) to the processes and data groups within the project using Numerical Attribures. This tutorial demonstrates how this can then be used to provide quick early estimates of project effort and cost.
Setting up Numerical Attributes
Numerical Attributes enable the selective quantitative reporting of your function point counts. For example you can assign a $cost for different types of devleopment to different areas of functionality. SCOPE will then total the cost for each devleopment type and total the cost for the Change Request, or the Release.
Set Up Numerical Attribute Templates for Reuse
Numerical Attributes enable the selective quantitative reporting of your function point counts. For example you can assign a $cost for different types of devleopment to different areas of functionality. SCOPE will then total the cost for each devleopment type and total the cost for the Change Request, or the Release.
