About this doc
This wiki provides all Proj Management info for Cybertrax 2.1 Client project.
Intro
This project is very important therefore planning is critical.
Time vs Features vs Quality
Focus of this project is to deploy minimal set of core features ASAP. As a result feature set will be reduced to minimum and quality might be average (but must not fall below reasonable level)
Time allocated and Error margin
Summary of time allocated:
* only 1 week for analysis and requirements gathering
* only 1 week for design
* only 3 weeks for coding, testing, rollout/training planning
* only 1 week for staging/release
-----------------
Total: 6 weeks
NOTE: This is an estimate. Error is -1 week/+2 weeks.
Project documentation
All information is gathered and structured in several wikis under Category:Cybertrax 2.1 Client
Current list of docs:
Cybertrax 2.1 Client (Q and A) Cybertrax 2.1 Client (data dictionary) Cybertrax 2.1 Client (design) Cybertrax 2.1 Client (glossary) Cybertrax 2.1 Client (project plan) Cybertrax 2.1 Client (requirements) Cybertrax 2.1 Client (use cases)
Project communication
All communication is done through:
- mantis
- Skype
- email (everyone must check min 2 times a day and reply or at least confirm e-mail received same day)
- Q and A wiki article
All mantis tasks are under this parent: http://mantis.jaguarfreight.com/mantis/view.php?id=2077
Project broadcasts and forum
- Broadcasts / News posted into mantis: http://mantis.jaguarfreight.com/mantis/view.php?id=2127
- Questions / answers about proj planning should be posted there as well
Project update meetings
- who must attend: Andrei, Sasha, Alex, Denise, Tira
- Tuesd, Thursd 10-11am
- Skype chat
- Coordinator on NY side / Host: Alex
- Coordinator on Kiev side: Andrei
Project Team and responsibilities

Implementation team
- Kostya - Development Manager and Lead developer
- Sasha - Lead developer
- Andriy - Developer

Subcomponents
It is very important to find a good way to disect an monster into pieces to be able to digest it.
Functionality for this project naturally can be divided into:
- Shipper functionality
- Planner functionality
- Jaguar functionality
- Misc functionality
All wiki docs are structured this way and mantis tasks as well.
Requirements tasks:
- 2126 Shipper functionality - Finalize specs/document
- 2128 Planner functionality - Finalize specs/document
- 2129 Jaguar functionality - Finalize specs/document
- 2122 Misc functionality - Finalize specs/document
Implementstion tasks TBD. We might just pass tasks above as we normally do. Kostya has to tell us how they split work inside Impl team.

Appendix. Two types of specs
Lets introduce the following.
RFP specs
All specs start as informal collection of information. At this stage they could be considered as a Request For Proposal. That is why this type of spec called "RFP type". .
3CS specs
Gradually specs should take shape and finally considered to comply to 3CS:
- complete
- correct
- clear
- structured
These type of specs we call "3CS specs".
Appendix. Two types of Design methodology
Lets introduce the following.
White box design
What we follow now in most cases:
- Requirements doc completed
- Sys analyst creates and documents Design based on Requirements doc
- Design goes through review process
- developer codes based on Design doc
- QA tests based on Design doc
Black box design
Alternative approach:
- Requirements doc completed
- Developer codes based on Requirements doc (creating functional Prototype)
- Sys analyst creates and documents Design based on Prototype
- Design and Prototype go through review process
- QA tests based on Design doc
