ABSTRACT
As 2006 got under way, the Cremins United project seemed to be in excellent shape. Requirements were scheduled to be complete at the end of January, and all teams, with the exception of Sales, reported “green” on status reports. The Sales team had received permission to miss the end-January requirements complete milestone. They were following the CSMPro development methodology instead of The Process, so they had laid out their own schedule, to which they seemed to be sticking. Nevertheless, Sales was reporting “yellow,” meaning they felt there were material risks remaining in their ability to meet the September code complete date.
