Punchlist for a “483” – The Punchlist
Pretty deep into this Incident Reporting System project, I find that the reporting requirements are a large and critical part of the system, yet undefined. I check back to the original estimate document for the size and scope of the reporting effort.
Good news – I had quantified the report count in the estimate. Bad news – it was a big number (20), and I only had 10 Mandays of budget for all twenty.
