How We’re Going to Do ThingsHow We’re Going to Do Things This a small company: “Superior Designs, Inc.Superior Designs, Inc.

” You are the development department

Divided into teams for various projects (products) Each team has a team lead

We use a proven, phased development process You develop and get approval for the roadmap

to deliver your product on time Weekly “staff” meetings to review project

status/progress (generally, Friday lab period) Failure of one team => failure of company

How We’re Going to Do ThingsHow We’re Going to Do Things I am the “boss” (development manager)

I will mentor you & help you learn how to do your job

I will approve your plans I will approve your project expenses I believe every question is worth answering I don’t do your work for you I don’t do your research for you I don’t know everything about anything I expect you to do your job, and will measure you

on how well you do it

Work LoadWork Load You have roughly 5-6 months of calendar 5-6 months of calendar

working timeworking time for your project. That’s, at most, 500 man-hours per team member A 5 person team has 2500 man-hours to complete the

project (4 people => 2000 man-hours)Equivalent of about one man-year, or 5 K delivered lines

of source code by typical metrics Don’t pad your schedule trying to make it easy on yourself

Expect to spend 10-15 hours every week outside of the classroomoutside of the classroom on the project Failure to expend the required time will result in failure to

complete the project (with a similar effect on your course grade)
