Guidelines: Work
Order - Informal Representation
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 assigning and statussing work assignments.
If your requirements are captured in a requirements database (such as
Rational RequisitePro) consider also assigning work and tracking status
in the same tool.
