Analysis

Overview

The whole project depends on correct time allocation, so you have to follow these rules:

  • add revisions to the rest of the tasks carefully ( search for "more()" in the python file )
  • the sprint effort must depend on the resources (developers and QA-s availability) for this sprint
  • use the exported files from sophie2-wbs.py for information

Task requirements

  • The time allocation should be done according to the whole time for the project and should not exceed it.
  • Every task should be divided in three phases (base version, intermediate version, final version).
  • Every phase of a task should be divided by parts called revisions.
  • The sum of the time of all revisions of a task should be equal to the time allocated for the whole task itself.
  • The sum of the time of all tasks should be equal to the time allocated for the whole project.
  • Every base version of a task should begin in the time interval assigned for the beginning of a task(RED zone - see resources.ods for details).
  • Every intermediate version of a task should begin in the time interval assigned for it (YELLOW zone - see resources.ods for details).
  • Every final version of a task should begin in the interval assigned for it (GREEN zone - zone - see resources.ods for details).

Task result

  • an understandable schedule in an appropriate form, so that it is easily maintainable (a table for example).

Implementation idea

  • create a Open Office Spreadsheet for easy manipulation.

How to demo

  • open the resources.ods table and browse through the sheets.
  • see the time allocated for every revision (the middle of the table).
  • see the overall time allocated for every task (the most right-hand column).
  • see the zones (RED, YELLOW, GREEN) in the top-most row to see the beginning, intermediate and finel phase of a task.
  • see zeros bellow the top-most column - they represent that a milestone's time is divided among tasks and that neither more nor less time is assigned for the milestone.

Design

The goal is to synchronize the effort allocations in sophie2-wbs.py to the resources.ods.

  • Create new sheets
    • Platform
    • Core
    • Base
    • Main
    • Extra
    • SCS
    • S2S
    • Supporting
    • End_Prod
  • For each sheet do the following
    • First row should be the same as in alloc sheet
    • Second row should be the same as the corresponding row in alloc sheet (ex. for Platform sheet row 2 should be copied row 3 from alloc sheet)
    • Third row - cells c3..p3 should contain "=X2-SUM(X4:X24)

When this table is ready, each task can be imported in this table. In row 3 can be seen easily how much days are remaining for this milestone for this group of tasks. Use the Output sheet to move the desired rows to the others.

Implementing

See design. Result of the implementation is manage/sched/resources.ods (Open Office Spreadsheet)
