Metrics

Assumptions

• One full time employee works 8 m/h a day ~ 40 m/h a week ~ 160 m/h a month
• One Sprint ~ One month

Types of load

There are 2 types of activities:

• continuous: bugfix, tweaking (small to medium changes)
• projects

FTD

FTD = full time developer

1 FTD

40 h per week ~ 160 per month

1/4 FTD

10 h per week ~ 40 per month

1/2 FTD

20 h per week ~ 80 per month

FTL

It is proposed to use ftl (full time load) unit of measurement. This is to measure demand for IT staff (SAs, BAs, developers, QAs, Support Engineers).

full load

• 1 ftl (full load)

if average numb of hours required: 30 to 40 per week ~ 120-160 per month

medium load

• 3/4 ftl (med load)

if average numb of hours required: 20 to 30 per week ~ 80-120 per month

low load

• 1/2 ftl (low load)

if average numb of hours required: 10 to 20 per week ~ 40-80 per month

very low load

• 1/4 ftl (very low load)

if average numb of hours required: 1 to 10 per week ~ 4-40 per month

2010 June to December Forecast

New Modules

TMS Integration

Jaguar is planning to purchase a large TMS system that has to be integrated with CT2. This would mean:

• supporting real time integration / flow of data between 2 systems (one or both directions)
• potentially adding additional fields and features to support above

• Estimates
  • start: June-Aug
  • length low: 1 month
  • length high: 3 month
  • emh low = 30 per week
  • emh high = 40 per week

CT2 TMS features (Trucking Domestic Optimization)

Jaguar plans to add a number of complex TMS features to CT2

• Estimates
  • start: July-September
  • length low: 6 month
  • length high: 12 month
  • emh low = 20 per week
  • emh high = 40 per week

Rates Interface

Jaguar plans to add Rates Interface.

• Estimates
  • start: July-September
  • length low: 2 month
  • length high: 3 month
  • emh low = 20 per week
  • emh high = 30 per week

EDI

Jaguar plans to integrate with Clients, Vendors, etc through EDI (for example receive Traffic Sheets, send Invoices). Please note that there many companies Jaguar interface so if this is successful then EDI could be a constant task.

• Estimates
  • start: asap
  • length low: 2 month
  • length high: 12 month
  • emh low = 20 per week
  • emh high = 40 per week

Inventory Management

Jaguar plans to create Inventory Management components (as a CT2 feature or stand alone application)

• Estimates
  • start: July - Aug
  • length low: 6 month
  • length high: 12 month
  • emh low = 20 per week
  • emh high = 40 per week

Development based on Requirements not Detailed Design

2 possible options:

• Remote Developer (programmer) creates detailed design based on requirements
• Remote Designer creates detailed design based on requirements

Both options would increase numb of hours required in Remote Team
