Integrate PERT Chart with RACI Roles to Task Manager

Integrate PERT Chart with RACI Roles to Task Manager

Today I would like to use Visual Paradigm to demonstrate how to perform task planning for team members who will take up the RACI roles and these tasks in the Enhanced PERT Chart can automatically be assigned to the automated task manager called “Tasifier” for project management. A traditional PERT chart is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project. The enhanced PERT Chart tool adds four additional features for integrating with different Visual Paradigm building blocks. You can do all these within an enhanced PERT Chart modeler.

What is an agile estimate? What are the common pitfalls?

In software development , the usual “estimation” includes a quantitative evaluation of the work required to perform a given development task; this is usually expressed in terms of duration (hour / day) or estimated unit (story point). The purpose is to consolidate a number of such individual estimates in order to obtain an indication of the overall duration, work or cost of the software project.

Use Case Modeling

Use Case Modeling

A UML use case diagram is the primary form of system/software requirements for a new software program under developed. Use cases specify the expected behavior (what) of a system, and not the exact method of making it happen (how). A complete set of use cases specifies all the different ways to use the system and therefore defines all behavior required of the system bounding the scope of the system.
