The following are some recommendations and options for informally representing work orders.
Option: Assign Work-Orders as Objectives/Tasks in the Iteration Plan
See the Iteration Plan Template.
Option: Use a Sign-up Sheet / Whiteboard
Work orders can consist of a publicly posted list of objectives/tasks on a whiteboard, sign-up sheet, or virtual
whiteboard (a commonly accessible file or WikiWeb).
Consider including:
-
Task description
-
Assigned To
-
Current status
Option: Use a Work-Assignment Tool
Change requests, such as those provided by Rational ClearQuest, also provide an automated means of making assignments
and assessing status.
If your requirements are captured in a requirements database (such as Rational RequisitePro) consider also assigning
work and tracking status in the same tool.
