Planned Schedule Vs Actual Schedule
Iteration | Planned | Actual | Comments |
4 | 5 Jan - 18 Jan | 5 Jan - 21 Jan | Some features took longer to complete, such as burn down chart. The concept of burn down chart was slightly harder to grasp. Also, some team members were struggling with using Ajax with Yii Framework because members are also new to the framework. |
5 | 19 Jan - 1 Feb | 21 Jan - 30 Jan | Iteration 5 ended earlier because there was an issue , team was not able to deploy codes onto sponsor's server. To know more, look at risk section. |
Midterms Presentation | 24 Feb | 25 Feb | Midterms presentation schedule changed twice. From 24/02 to 17/02 to 25/02 |
Change Management (optional)
Man Hours Calculation
Iteration | Comments |
3 | Exam period and 4/5 members went for TSM trip, therefore hours are low. |
6 | Iteration 6 has a significant increase in man hours due to UAT and the preparation for the mid terms. |
Changes in Scope
Project Metrics
Schedule Metrics
Schedule index that are within the green bar are in the safe zone.
Iteration | Status | Explanation |
4 | Underestimated | Start of school and timetables of members were not confirmed which made it hard for PM to schedule, and also members were adjusting to school timings after the long break |
5 | Overestimated | Team encountered a risk which turned into an issue. The task - Integrate Codes to Server, was not carried out as sponsor did not reply promptly to the request of configuration details to the server. Hence Iteration was ended earlier. |
Bug Metrics
Still calculating !!!
Project Risks
Top 3 Risks
Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Level | Mitigation | Ongoing Risk? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Team Members New to Yii Framework | High | Medium | A | Schedule more working hours for each functionality to ensure that there is time to do research on the framework |
Yes |
Chinese New Year Period | Medium | Medium | B | Team members will be celebrating CNY, and might not follow closely to the iteration schedule. PM will give team members more days to complete the function to ensure functionality delivered within iteration. |
Yes |
MyHosting DB Change Host Name | High | Low | B | Request for a change of host name from client or temporarily host using another server |
Yes |
Technical Complexity
- Yii PHP Framework
- The way of constructing the coding language is totally different from purely using PHP
- Gantt Chart
- Burn Down Chart
Non-Technical Complexity
- Microsoft Project
- This tool may seem simple to use, but in fact it is very tedious.
- Steep learning curve for first time users
- Gantt chart
- Predecessors not only contains integers, but alphabets (extracted from MS Project). One has to be familiar with MS Project to be able to understand the usage of those alphabets
- SS: Start-Start
- SF: Start-Finish
- FF: Finish-Finish
- FS: Finish-Start
- Predecessors not only contains integers, but alphabets (extracted from MS Project). One has to be familiar with MS Project to be able to understand the usage of those alphabets
- Burn down chart
- This chart requires a lot of mathematical formulas. If a wrong variable is used for calculation, it is not possible to get the correct results.
- Calculations:
- Planned Value: Planned hours / date
- Earned Value: Planned hours / date * % work completed (100% or 0%)
- Actual Value: Scheduled work hours * % work completed (100% or 0%)
