© BMC 2006 Business Management Consultants 2 Workshop – 20 Minutes 1. My Time is a simple one person project applying RUP approach 2. Read the contents on each slide and respond to the questions asked Work in teams of 6 per group and assign roles for each team member and agree on what artifact each member produces: Work in teams of 6 per group and assign roles for each team member and agree on what artifact each member produces: Suggested Roles Suggested Roles A Project Manager Facilitates the discussion A Project Manager Facilitates the discussion A Time keeper keeps the team on time A Time keeper keeps the team on time A Reporter describes to the seminar the artifacts produced A Reporter describes to the seminar the artifacts produced

As a result the team cannot monitor progress against estimates. This makes it difficult to charge customers correctly, and estimate effort required for future projects. 2.Vision statement: A software tool that measures time spent, gathers data and allows its extraction would solve the above problems. 3.Stakeholders: Gary’s team, your organisation which is specialised in PM software, Administration people in Gary’s organisation 4.You meat Gary and after an interview you are back in the office and do the following: 1.Make a plan to deliver a solution to the above problem in one week. Use the terminology you learned – when will you do inception, etc. etc Draw a table indicating each day of the week and your planned activities 2.List 4 Use Cases bearing in mind the above points 3.Draw a basic architecture of the system 4.When do you mitigate business risks? And Technical risks?

Also there is now need for an administrator to maintain the DB  To mitigate Architecture risk – shift the LCA Milestone to end of Tuesday 7.Old Risks: Dbase is expensive, Connection via internet of all PCs (some not possible) 8.New Risks: Synchronisation of updates to the DB; Can the same user be connected from 2 different machines – if yes the impact, what if dialogue with one user dies and locks off the others 9.Revised Budget – extra day of work A simplified example– Project My Time – Revised Vision

Draw Sequence Diagram prompts new questions – are the activities pre- defined? The code shall run on Unix or Windows NT 13.Develop an Applet for the product Interface 14.Test the system – Applet on laptop and DB on Desktop. Occasionally its crashing – why? 15. Develop more use cases for system administration 1.Clean up Database 2.Add a user 3.Clean up the Activity list
