To better understand a simulation run, the features of the model will be presented in the following sentences.
Project planning
- The concept is based on the waterfall model, so the phases of the waterfall model should be respected.
- You have to plan your personal ressources the same way as you would plan them in a real project. All employees are equipped with an adequate knowledge.
Simulation time
- The least displayed date shows the current day. All entered actions occure on this day.
- All dates have the same format: 'year/month/day/hour:minute'. Weekends will be skipped automatically by the model.
- The model does consider weekends, but it does not consider holidays, vacation- or sick days.
- The model does automatically change from summertime to wintertime and vice versa. The current season is shown in the date.
Proceed
- After starting a new simulation run, a "proceed" has to be executed. The task occours afterwards. Earlier entered orders won't be executed resp. the model could provide incorrect results.
Resources
- If a new activity is refered to a developer, which is not already adjusted, this activity will not be executed and an error-message appears. If the developer is adjusted afterwards, the activity has to be refered to him again.
- If the developer is released, he is not available for a random period of time between 21 and 60 days. The order "hire" will be useless until the developer is available again.
- A developer is only able to do one task at the same time. This means, he cant design and coding parallely. Reviews are the only exceptions.
