2014 Curriculum Management Milestone

Plan Review Plan as of March 2014KS IUG - April 3, 2014

Assumptions• Across KS, Milestones (content & timing) are

specific to each product stream.– Except ENR-CO & ENR-CR, which share

milestone timing• Milestone plans will evolve as needs &

circumstances warrant change.– This plan reflects what we know now.

• Milestone completion is based on goals and priorities, not time.

• Since all product streams now share the same “trunk” codebase, we all take Rice upgrades at the same time.

• Attention to cross-product stream impact is important.

Milestones

• Certainty arises from knowledge about work being planned & knowledge about how the team works.

• New teams, new product streams• Analysis & design stronger for near-term work; less

so for future work• Mitigation: Just like we did last year, continue to

update estimates each milestone

Implications:• Founders’ Release

occurs in Q3, rather than Q2.

• Program enhancements start Q3 later, depending on KRAD conversion velocity.
