Recent research by Accenture shows that 35% of production disruptions originate from incomplete or unclear requirements. Finding and repairing defects in the User Stories as early as possible therefore saves a lot of money and effort. ScopeMaster is a SaaS solution that measures the quality of User Stories fully automatically. ScopeMaster is the winner of the Computing DevOps Excellence 2020 award.
Scientific research has shown that this significantly improves the predictability of agile teams compared to the usual Story Points. Metri also uses the measured size in its Cost Estimation and Agile Team Performance studies.
According to Harold van Heeringen, Principal Consultant IT Intelligence services at Metri, the partnership offers Metri the opportunity to deliver even more value.
“In addition to the automated measurement of team performance, we also help the teams to improve in a targeted manner. In this way we help our customers to maximize the delivered business value for the spent budget and we also ensure a predictable and the lowest possible Total Cost of Ownership of the applications ”.
