(1-3)
Effects
(1-3)
Priority
(P x E)
Strategy
Project may not be accepted
Implications/Reason

Project is being done for the third time

Medium(2) High(3) 6 Do our best to satisfy expectations of Course Coordinator.


Incompatibility with client’s server when application is deployed
Implications/Reason

Client has their own server/domain

Low (1) High(3) 3 Project Manager to search for plausible solutions.


Lead Developer to explore deploying on other servers in case compatibility issues cannot be resolved.


Underestimation of scope during development and testing
Implications/Reason

Over-confidence of development ability

Low (1) High(3) 3 Project Manager to allocate buffer time in schedule and monitor schedule metrics closely. Scheduling of tasks to be adjusted according to metrics.


Team to seek advice from supervisor as to whether certain functionalities should be dropped.


Insufficient users for testing
Implications/Reason

Lack of incentives for users to do testing for us

Medium(2) Medium(2) 4 Business Analyst to discuss with sponsors to provide users with incentives.


Inaccurate feedback given by testers
Implications/Reason

Wrong testing mind-set (i.e. purpose of test is to show that application works, not to find defects or testers’ lack of commitment to support the testing efforts)

Medium(2) Medium(2) 4 Team to get non-IT users for testing to ensure that feedback is more applicable to the generic public to ensure user-friendliness.


Testers to be briefed and encouraged to test the application without reservations.






Team Risk

Team member is faced with sudden illness
Implications/Reason

Virus attack

High(3) High(3) 9 Project Manager to reschedule tasks or reallocate tasks to another member.


Project Manager to include buffer days in project schedule to accommodate such situations.


Team member drops module at the eleventh hour
Implications/Reason

Inability to cope

Low(1) High(3) 3 Project Manager to reallocate tasks.


Team members to devote more time to FYP.

Priority
(P x E)
Strategy
Constantly adding/changing of requirements
Implications/Reason

Sponsor unsure of all that they want from the very beginning

High(3) High(3) 9 Major changes are not permitted after agreement on requirements.


Project Manager to look at schedule for minor changes to see if project can still be completed on time if changes are accommodated.
Lead Developer and Systems Analyst to accommodate changes if changes are accepted.
Business Analyst to reject if changes are not accepted.


Project is not taken up by SMUSA after completion
Implications/Reason

Users are not comfortable with the system and opt instead to revert back to their old way of doing things

High (3) Low (1) 3 Team to organize training sessions for users.


Project Manager to assign team member to provide assistance if need be.


SMUSA does not know how to operate the system
Implications/Reason

SMUSA lacks technical knowledge

Medium(2) Low (1) 2 Business Analyst to discuss with SMUSA on whether to add user manuals.

Metrics

Schedule Metrics

The formula for calculating schedule metrics is as follows: Estimated time / Actual Time * 100

Score (S) tiers Actions to take
S <= 50% Team's progress is TOO SLOW!!!
  1. Reflect on progress and reassess schedule.
  2. Consider dropping functions.
50% < S <= 90% Team's progress is too slow. Tasks are possibly under-estimated.
  1. Consider the possibility of tasks being under-estimated.
  2. Use buffer days if available.
    • If there are no buffer days available, consider dropping functions.
90% < S <= 110% Estimations are fairly accurate.
110% < S <= 150% Team's progress is too fast
  1. Reflect on progress and reassess schedule.
  2. Add number of days gained as buffer days.
150% < S Team's progress is TOO FAST!!!
  • Mitigations are the same as the previous tier.

Bug Metrics

Severity Description
Low impact (1 point) Unimportant. Typo error or small user interface alignment issues.
High impact (5 points) The system runs. However, some non-critical functionalities are not working.
Critical impact (10 points) The system is down or is usable after a short period of time. We have to fix the bugs to continue.

Points Calculation: Total = 1 x num (low) + 5 x num (high) + 10 x num (critical)

Points in iteration (P) Action
P <= 5 Fix during buffer time only.
5 < P < 10 Use the planned debugging time.
10 <= P Stop current development and resolve the bug immediately. Project Manager reschedules the project.
