Analysis
• Planning
• Requirements & Usage
• Resource
Analysis - Planning
• You committed for 02/10/2007 – Are you sure that you want to
commit on a National Holiday?
• You planned for the resource, but no commitment on any front
that the resource would be available ( other team resource ).
• If it is your own resource, have you checked the possibility of
utilizing the resource ?
• If you have planned for a good resource, have you checked the
load ?
• Have you checked with the resource calendar – leave days,
work (shift ) timings ?
Analysis - Resource
• How you have made sure the resource is effectively utilized?
For example, if a resource is working across projects, after
deployment is over, customer is keeping on giving on changes
and hence the resource cannot be released or the resource
fails to get released ... in the event of enjoying some sweet idle
time ...
• Have you checked the whether the database is in ready state to
use? If it is not ready, how the time taken to get ready with the
database will be reflected in the plan?
• How you have planned to deliver the solution ? FTP, CD etc..
• Would you really like to deliver the solution without any review –
code, functional etc..? Can it be inclusive of the task hours itself
?
