This page looks fine . If required we can
mention something on quality score of the
project which depends on the bugs created
during the project.
Also something can be mentioned about the
final score once the simulation ends :
YOUR PERFORMANCE
PROJECT COMPLETION = 95%
PROJECT DURATION = 16 Weeks
COST INCURRED = RS. 31,00,068
BUGS CREATED = 428
OVERALL SCORE= 8.6
This page looks fine. All that can be done is to
make this chart dynamic and on mouse-over we
can show the skill requirements, workload, etc.
(Information like resources assigned, time
taken, cost incurred and bugs created can also
be shown making it an information resource)
TEXT IMPROVEMENT
In this section, you can assign the individuals in
your team to specific activities. Select an
activity in from the menu selection and proceed
with assigning the individuals to each activity
Click on this button to confirm your assignment for each activity Ensure that you have
saved your assignments for each activity before you move to your next activity
The button can be moved to the top
SAVE ALL ASSIGNMENTS
TEXT IMPROVEMENT
Your Executive Management Team has set a
target of 15 weeks. You can set your own
personal target as a project manager. This
target can only be set in the first week of the
project.
TEXT IMPROVEMENT
You can allow or disallow overtime every week
based on your timelines. Allowing overtime
would increase completion rate but would incur
higher cost and increase stress. Make your
choice here
TEXT IMPROVEMENT
Meetings help in reducing the possibility of
creation of bugs as well as reduce the stress for
the team members. Set the frequency of your
one on one meetings as well as team meetings
in this section
Once you have made the decisions, remember to click the submit
button. If the decisions are not submitted here, you would not be
able to proceed to the next week.
You seem to have missed the section on overtime
and meeting scheduling. Click on SCHEDULE AND
TEAM section on the top menu to proceed.
You seem to have missed the resource assignment
section. Click on the WORK DELEGATION section
on the top menu to proceed
TEXT IMPROVEMENT
You can confirm the decisions for this round by
clicking on the submit button below. The button
would appear once all the decisions are taken,
otherwise the alert would be shown for the
decision which needs to be taken. Once
submitted, you would proceed to the next week
Spacing can be adjusted with more width given
to the first column . Instead of Working we can
have IN PROGRESS Status should have the
first letter capitalized. Can be shown using the
activity chart with different colour codes as
NOT STARTED, IN PROGRESS and
COMPLETED. This can be done once we
have a dynamically updating activity chart
We can rethink this section since it does not
provide substantial information for the user
