Threshold of Success

  • A set of predictable measures will be defined in the requirements tracker, which will be verified using PACC starter kit by end of July 2009.
  • We will provide a code base written in CCL, which will satisfy the list of must-have requirements written in the requirements tracker spreadsheet by the end of July 2009.
  • We will successfully pass a set of test cases which cover the predictability measures defined in the requirements tracker by the end of July 2009.
  • We will provide observable evidence to our client through demonstration that the SRV-1 behaves predictably by the end of July 2009.
  • We will generate a report, following the guidelines defined in the SOW, containing lessons learned from using PSK and recommendations for improvements by the end of December 2009.

Fall 2009 Risks


ID R1
Owner Berin
Risk Statement (H/L)Scope of the TR not defined, May lead to scope creep.
Mitigation Plan Outline has been sent to Scott. Whole month of November is allocated to refining draft and incorporating input from client.
Measure for Tracking Number of incoming requirements for TN.
ID R7
Owner Berin
Risk Statement (M/H)We are graduating in December (we hope), and the TN draft is not completed. We may need to work during the busiest time at the end of semester, or after graduation to complete the TN.
Mitigation Plan Team has formed gentelmen's agreement to continue working on TN after graduation.
Measure for Tracking Date of completion for the TN.
ID R3
Owner Sidharth
Risk Statement (L/M)We are looking for jobs, people may not be available for studio work.
Mitigation Plan Has not been a big issue so far. Notification to team 1 week in advance via personal calendars. Common time on Sunday.
Measure for Tracking Number of meetings missed by team members.
ID R6
Owner Saurabh
Risk Statement (M/L)We all have heavy work/activity load, our work might be of low quality.
Mitigation Plan Personal and team reviews. Change tracking process is established.
Measure for Tracking Number of defects injected/removed.
ID R2 (ISSUE)
Owner Berin
Risk Statement (H/M)Class schedule are conflicting, common time is difficult to scheduled.
Mitigation Plan This is an issue not a risk. Class schedule will not change. Weekly team dinners to be scheduled.
Measure for Tracking
ID R4 (CLOSED)
Owner Jonathan
Risk Statement (L/M)We have not agreed on the deliverables with customer, customer might not be happy with what they get.
Mitigation Plan Deliverables have been well defined. Quality is the risk. Continue active dialogue with client.
Measure for Tracking Number of incoming requirements.
ID R5 (CLOSED)
Owner Shigeru
Risk Statement (H/M)Process dashboard has not been effective in tracking, team may not meet milestones.
Mitigation Plan PD was reviewed during postmortem/replan meeting. Individual and team EV have been fixed. We will continue to use PD.
Measure for Tracking Earned Value


Summer 2009 Semester Goals

Management Goals

  • A set of predictable measures will be defined in the requirements tracker, which will be verified using PACC starter kit by end of July 2009.
  • We will provide a code base written in CCL, which will satisfy the list of must-have requirements written in the requirements tracker spreadsheet by the end of July 2009.
  • We will successfully pass a set of test cases which cover the predictability measures defined in the requirements tracker by the end of July 2009.
  • We will provide observable evidence to our client through demonstration that the SRV-1 behaves predictably by the end of July 2009.
  • The clients will acknowledge the artifacts produced by the team as acceptable quality for use as an academic or industrial example of PSK utilization.

    Implied Goals
  • Create customer feedback form with rating scale of 1-5. Obtain semester average rating of 3.5 or higher.
  • Each team member will spend on average 48 hours per week on Studio.


Team Goals

  • Attain an average rating of 3.5 on the Summer 2009 End of Semester Presentation (EOSP).
  • PLACE QUALITY GOALS HERE
  • Create and maintain project notebook which contains all project artifacts to date.
  • Include exercise and other fun activities in the weekly schedule, and actually do them.

Fall 2009 Semester Goals

  • We will generate a report, following the guidelines defined in the SOW, containing lessons learned from using PSK and recommendations for improvements by the end of December 2009.
