November 2012 Roadmap Updated Nov 23

[Azerax]

In Project Management, for any given series of tasks you are only concerned with how much work you have left to do and how much time you have left to do it.

From there we can create score based on the value of work done vs the amount budgeted for that work to be done.

To make it simple, let's say each bug they committed to fixing was worth $10 which breaks down to $35 per week.
4 bugs were fixed, so $40 worth of work was done compared to the budgeted $35

The SPI (Schedule Performance Index) = Earned Value ($40) / Planned Value ($35
SPI = 1.14

So, in a weekly update to senior management, they'd see the SPI is above 1 and know it's ahead of schedule and under budget.  There would be a couple more Reporting Indexes they'd glance at, but you get the point.

One suggestion on the chart--switch the colors. work planned = red, work completed = blue. that way, red (bad) gets replaced by blue (good) as the month progresses.

[Azerax]

any objections to switching the colors?

Good idea, they already didn't make sense, the work done should be blue n the work todo should be red.
