- jph 5y agoHa! The name ROPE is because a rope is a group of strands, braided together into a larger and stronger form with higher tensile strength. With ROPE, the four numbers combine together to create a larger and stronger estimate. I do estimates for clients, and ROPE provides a way for each stakeholder to see that estimates are really ranges of probabilities.
