Software Project Management under Uncertainties
Analysis of Software Project using Event Chains Methodology
Step 2: Defining Events
Each task can be affected by multiple potential events. The project manager should set up a list of events for tasks and resources. Fig. 2 shows list of events for the task.
Fig. 2. Hierarchical event table
Each event has a number of properties. The process of defining these events can be tedious and complicated. To simplify the definition of events, event templates can be used. An event template is a standard hierarchical list of events for a particular industry or the group of projects. Lists of events for the task, group of tasks, or a project can be generated based on a template. To simplify the management of events even further, events from the template can be turned on and off on a task-by-task basis.
