All,
last week was very positive for defect resolution but this week has not been
as good: we started at 190 and we are going to finish very close to 190
defects.
After 12 weeks of alpha, freezing beta starts becoming increasingly urgent.
I therefore suggest a slight modification of our exit criteria that will
give us a chance to freeze by Feb 20th and release by the 27th.
Instead of trying to achieve 0 critical, 0 major and less than 100 minor and
trivial defects, which is proving exceedingly difficult given the current
inflow, I propose to target:
- 0 critical, 0 major and less than 100 minor and trivial defects having
a creation date of Feb 14th 2009 or earlier
- 0 defects with urgent priority
The first criteria provides us with a way to cut off and to stop chasing a
target that moves as fast as we do. The second criteria allows the QA and
triage team (who assess the priority) to carefully look at the incoming flow
and select which issues are important enough to be included in the release
and therefore to respect the spirit of the exit criteria.
Effective immediately, I would ask you to:
1) Focus on defects logged up to today (Feb 13th)
2) Ignore any defect that is logged from Feb 14th onwards unless it has a
priority of immediate or urgent.
This gives us a very reachable target. Let's make it happen!
Paolo
