Best info I have is that SCE will not select Knowledge Plan, but they have not
decided on an alternative yet....

         Jim,
         We have (actually Duane has) pursued the information on the FP
         workbench product. We'll fill you in later tomorrow. I have not had an
         opportunity to review in its entirety. It is priced very reasonably. We
         also have an interest in it's capability to interface with DOORS. The
         open question is; what about Knowledge Plan or a similar tool? Do you
         know the status from SCE perspective. I would like to discuss that open
         question in the leadership meeting tomorrow. It's of significant
         interest to Shashi and myself for his new project. We have a goal of
         linking the requirements through DOORS to the Function Point Counts,
         the objects of FP Workbench, etc. We think we need to prepare to
         support the next level of effort after requirements - estimating based
         on FP counts. Let me know what you know of progress in this area.

         Thanks,
         Liz

         Jim,
         I have not. That is the second next thing on my list of stuff.

         I'll pursue after we wrap up our documentation distribution and the
         DOORS requirements tools. Therefore, first thing on Monday.

         Liz

              Liz,
              I have been out sick all week so I didn't have a chance to get
              back to you earlier. Thanks for the updates I'll look them over.
              Re. the laptop: I'll contact spencer and work out the details with
              him... Finally, did you have a chance to track down the FP
              workbench product that Mike recommended in the FP class?

                      Jim and Rusty,
                      I have just finished the edits of the Function Point docs
                      in our QMS documentation for Process Improvement. You will
                      find them very helpful since we completed the class. They
                      are short, and complete in definition. In addition, the
                      guideline has the procedure for the shortened method along
                      with a spreadsheet for the calculations. I've attached the
                      described documents as listed below.

                      SG010 - FUNCTION POINT COUNTING (Guidelines) with EXCEL
                      spreadsheet for calculations

                      QR 001 - UNIT PROCESS FUNCTION POINT COUNT SHEET (QR -
                      Quality Records forms)

                      Take a look when you have a chance.

                      We are just finishing all of the prep work to get ready to
                      roll out all Guidelines, Handbooks, Forms, Procedures,
                      etc... for review.

                      p.s.
                      Jim,
                      I turned the new DELL PC over to Spencer Bates. He has to
                      do some work to prep it. You should follow up with him on
                      when it will be available to transfer your data. He and I
                      will transfer the asset from my cost center to yours when
                      it is ready. After you turn your laptop in, he will prep
                      it for my team and we will transfer the asset to my cost
                      center.
