'''Sponsor Sourcing'''
 
 
 
Before everything, we have to find a sponsor. Learning from our past experiences, the team has developed a guideline for sourcing the sponsor. The guidelines are as such:
 
 
 
* The Motivation: What is the need?
 
* The Idea: In short, what is the idea about?
 
* The Solution: How would the idea help to solve the need
 
* The Scope: What is the focus of the project? The differentiating factor? The X-Factor of the project?
 
* The Implementation: Do we have the technical ability to deal with the project?
 
 
 
At the end of this iteration, the team would have a clear idea of what the scope of the project is about and the high-level steps of what needs to be done to get there.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Agile Development'''
 
 
 
It's all about agility. Our team aims to mimic as close as possible to real-world software engineering experiences. As such, our team has decided to adopt the Agile Development Process that is flexible and meaningful for the entire team. Our iterations are planned as such:
 
 
 
 
 
'''Iteration 0 : Project Initiation'''
 
 
 
This is a time for our team to learn as much as possible in the following areas:
 
 
 
* Project Plan - How are we going to get to the end?
 
* Technical Walkthrough - What are the tools, knowledge, help and expertise that are available?
 
* Business Value - What value do we bring?
 
* Justifications - What would help to solidify our reasons for the project?
 
* Team Bonding! - All work, no play, and you would hate your FYP. This is a time for the team to go through the initiation and storming phase, where we be honest about our doubts and fears and limitations and also strengths and confidence in the project.
 
 
 
At the end of this phase, the team would have established its project plan, roles and responsibilities and the baseline project schedule. The project manager would then send an update email to the supervisor, to the client and update the wiki.
 
 
 
 
 
'''MILESTONE 2: SYSTEM CONCEPTION COMPLETED'''
 
 
 
'''Iteration 1 : Gather Requirements'''
 
 
 
The focus of iteration 1 is to commence on requirements gathering. The requirements gathering phase is the most important phase because it is where we establish the baseline from which all communications would stem from and also it is the first time that all the different parties get to synergize and work with one another. During this phase, the team seeks to answer the following questions:
 
 
 
* What is the scope of the project?
 
* Who are the target audience?
 
* What are the use cases?
 
* What are the functionalities that needs to be done?
 
* What are the non-functional requirements that we need to adhere to?
 
* How does the client want the user interface to look like?
 
* How are we going to handover the project?
 
  
At the end of this phase, the team would have established its use case scenarios, user storyboards and functionality list. This would all be placed into a requirements document. The project manager would then arrange for a meeting with client to clarify the use case scenarios, the user storyboards and the functionality requirements.
+
'''Resources for Bug Metrics'''

*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug Types of Software Bugs]
Should there be any major changes to the requirements, rectifications would be made. Depending on the scope of the project, the team might increase the no. of iterations of requirement studies needed.

Project Milestones

Project Gantt Chart(For Empact)


Project Schedule


Iteration Reports
The iteration reports covers the bug ratios and schedule ratios for each iteration.

Overall Project Metrics:

Overall Bug Metrics

Boxus BugMetricsFinals.png

Iteration Bug Score Any Actions Taken
11 28

Increase in Bug Score due to bugs that were recorded from User Testing 2

  • 2 days allocated to fix bugs from User Testing 2
12 11

New features of the system(Statistics, Dashboard and Notifications) were being released

  • Allow Empact to have a full picture of the entire system for testing
  • Resulted in an overall increase in bugs being reported
  • Scheduled additional time during bug fixing to fix up bugs within the system
  • All bugs were fixed by the end of the iteration
13 32

More thorough testing was being performed for the UAT

  • Resulted in an overall increase in bugs being reported
  • Scheduled additional time during bug fixing to fix up bugs within the system
  • All bugs were fixed by the end of the iteration

Overall Schedule Metrics

Boxus Schedulemetricsfinals.png


SCHEDULE METRICS

OBJECTIVE

  • To ensure that all project tasks are completed on time and milestones are met.
CALCULATION:

Schedule Ratio = Actual Duration / Planned Duration

Schedule Ratio Description Response
< 0.8 Team is ahead of schedule Proceed to embark on the next task if possible
0.8 - 1.2 Within healthy schedule range No actions required for ratio below 1.
Keep close monitor on tasks that have a ratio of more than one.
Project Manager to review schedule to see which tasks have gone over time. If necessary, review time estimations for tasks in the next iteration.
> 1.2 Team is behind schedule Team is behind schedule. Project Manager identifies root cause of the delay. Project Manager would increase the velocity of the team in the upcoming iteration to complete the tasks on time.


Schedule Metrics are captured within the Iteration Reports. Look above for the Iteration Reports.

BUG METRICS

OBJECTIVE

  • To minimize the number of bugs that surface during the duration of a sprint and thus ensuring the quality of the application.
  • A bug is defined as errors in code that causes system to behave differently from expected.


CALCULATION:

Bug Score = (1 X Total No. of Low Severity) + (2 X Total No. of Medium Severity Bug) + (10 X Total No. of High Severity Bug)


Severity Score Severity Level Description
1 LOW System is able to function as per normal. Minor issues in expected output or user interface alignment
2 MEDIUM System is able to function but with runtime errors. Some non-critical functionalities may not work as expected
10 HIGH System has some compilation error and unable to run or unusable for a period of time. Core functionalities may be affected
Bug Score Action Plan
6 and below Developers resolve issues within the iteration
7 - 9 Schedule debugging in the buffer of the iteration.
10 and above Priority goes to resolving bug. Project Manager reallocates task for debugging team to focus on debugging.

Bug Log

Resources for Bug Metrics

There are few sources of change for the project itself. Depending on the initiator of the project change, change control processes would have to be taken into consideration.

TYPES OF CHANGE


Requirement Change

Requirement changes are modifications, additions, deletions of requirements stated in the latest version of requirements documentation. In this case, sponsor and supervisor would be noted. Response from supervisor and sponsor would be sought before decision is sealed.

System Design Change

System changes are modification, additions, deletions to the system architecture and detail system design as stated in the latest versions of system architectural documentations and technical infrastructure documentations. Depending on severity, response from supervisor might be sought before decision is sealed.

Business Process Change

Business Process changes are modifications, additions, deletions to the existing business processes as stated in the latest versions of process analysis documentation.


CHANGE PROCESS

Following the feedback given by our supervisor, we have come up with the revised change process:

  1. Change initiated by external party
  2. Project Manager informed of change
  3. Project Manager makes decision of change and decides if team meeting is needed
  4. Project Manager informs team supervisor and sponsor(only if necessary)
  5. If team meeting is needed, meeting is scheduled, else team would be informed of change once decision made
  6. Change would be analyzed and decision reached by team to make it known.
  7. Change decision is being made known to supervisor
  8. Change implemented and decision is made known to team, supervisor and sponsor(if necessary)


Major Changes

DOCUMENTING BIG CHANGES

Changes that are formalized and agreed upon by team, and stakeholders if necessary, would be recorded in the respective documentation by Project Manager/Deputy Project Manager. Followup actions of changes made to project and team would be tracked by the Deputy Project Manager.
