Team 24 - Successorator

Milestone 1 Velocity Calculations

Iteration 1

• Initial velocity estimation: 0.5

Iteration 2

• Factors taken into consideration:
  • All group members with major time conflicts preventing many in person meetings
  • Heavy coursework loads
  • Midterm fiasco siphoning time to work on Successorator
  • Relative lightening of work and exams of all group members in iteration 2
• Conclusions:
  • Majority of work for iteration 1 must be pushed to iteration 2
  • Increase work days from 5 to 7 days a week
  • Decrease velocity to 0.4
• Iteration 2 work hours: 674 = 168 potential work hours -> 0.4*168 = 67.2 total work hours

Milestone 2 Velocity Calculations

Iteration 1

• Factors taken into consideration:
  • Availibility of all group members for iteration 1
  • Performance of team during iteration 2 of Milestone 1
  • Difficulty of the tasks for iteration 1
• Conclusions:
  • Maintain velocity of 0.4, carried over from iteration 2 of MS1
• Iteration 1 work hours: 654 = 120 potential work hours -> 0.4*120 = 48 total work hours

Iteration 2

• Factors taken into consideration:
  • All group members with major time conflicts preventing many in person meetings
  • Heavy coursework loads
  • Amount of work left in entire project
  • Certain tasks led to many unexpected problems, leading the task to take much longer than the initial estimation
• Conclusions:
  • Roll over any tasks that were unfinished in iteration 1 to iteration 2
  • Maintain the 7 days per week of work, as most member had time during the weekends
  • Increase hours per day from 4 to 5 hours
  • Decrease velocity to 0.3
• Iteration 2 work hours: 675 = 210 potential work hours -> 210*0.3 = 63 total work hours
