Rate at redmine.org

This plugin provides the function of calculating evm of projects . EVM can help you to track your project progress and its status and to forecast the future performance of the project.

Current Version

6.0.2

Compatibility

Redmine 5.0.0 and above

Notification

The redmine3.4.x compatible version in branch "redmine3-4-3". https://github.com/momibun926/redmine_issue_evm/tree/redmine3-4-3

The redmine4.x.x compatible version in branch "redmine4.0". https://github.com/momibun926/redmine_issue_evm/tree/redmine4.0

Main features

Calculate EVM with chart

  • All projects with ES
  • Each version
  • Each assignee (Shown estimated hours each days on chart)
  • Each parent issues
  • Some Trackers
  • Calculating EV based on daily done ratio
  • Daily EAC
  • EVM summary on overview page

Project reporting based on EVM

  • Project overview can be recorded with EVM values
  • List, query, and edit historical summaries

Project metrics

  • Duration
  • Status
  • Days until due date
  • Amount of calculation issues
  • Variance at baseline and show issue list
  • Amount of issue. (version, assignee, tracker)
  • Chart of EVM(PV,EV,AC), Forecast is invalid when project is finished.

Common setting

  • Basic time of day
  • Calculation method of ETC
  • Forecast chart, Performance chart, Threshold value, incomplete issues

Create baselines, and view history

  • Create baseline
  • View past created baseline

How to calculate EVM

The below are used for EVM.

  • start date
  • due date(If empty, effective of version)
  • estimated time (If you set it as 0, you will not get PV, CV)
  • spent time

If you input these into your project, it can help you to calculate both a single issue’s EVM and whole project’s one.

  • PV: Dividing estimated time by the days (from start date to due date(or effective date of version )) to get daily workload
  • EV: After issues are closed, you can get EV. When the progress rate is set, it is calculated by estimated time. (progress rate on the day when the progress is set.)
  • AC: Total work hours of PV issues.

Example

(1) Create an issue with:

  • start date: 2015/08/01
  • due date: 2015/08/03
  • estimated time: 24 hours

At that time, only PV is calculated. As you have not closed the issue yet, EV equals 0. PV: Dividing estimated time: 24hours by 3 days (from start date to due date)

EVM 8/1 8/2 8/3
PV 8 16 24
EV 0 0 0
AC 0 0 0

(2) Input your spent time.

8/1: 10.0hours 8/2: 6.0hours 8/3: 8.0hours

EVM 8/1 8/2 8/3
PV 8 16 24
EV 0 0 0
AC 10 16 24

(3) After finishing the issue, close it on 8/3. EV will be calculated on 8/3.

EVM 8/1 8/2 8/3
PV 8 16 24
EV 0 0 24
AC 10 16 24

Based on these data, EVM and chart are created.

Baseline

If you set baseline, you can know easily how project divergence is and whether new task (issues) can be added by chart. In other words, you can see whether your estimated daily workload is over or not by chart. PV is based on your baseline. In addition, you can set calculation without baseline by options.

About working days

  1. Excluding weekends and holidays
  2. If it is only weekends or holidays, make it a working day
  3. Use holidays gem -> Regional settings are set in the common setting page(common setting link in contextual)

Example)

In Japan, May 3, May 4, May 5 are holidays

  • Including weekends and holidays
Start date Due date Estimated time Working day PV per day
May 1, 2017 (Monday) May 8, 2017 (Monday) 12 hours 3 days 4 hours
  • Including only a few weekends and holidays
Start date Due date Estimated time Working day PV per day
May 1, 2017 (Monday) May 7, 2017 (Sunday) 10 hours 2 days 5 hours
  • Only weekends and holidays
Start date Due date Estimated time Working day PV per day
May 3, 2017 (Wed) May 7, 2017 (Sunday) 20 hours 5 days 4 hours

Chart

Chart.js is used to display charts, and Chart.bundle.min.js(Ver2) used in Redmine 4.2 is included with this plugin. I will make it compatible with Ver3 someday.

Main Chart. Displays the cumulative PV, EV, and AC values from the issue being calculated in a time series. If a baseline has been set, the baseline is also displayed.

Performance Chart Calculates and displays SPI, CPI, and CR only on days when PV, EV, and AC are calculated. If project members frequently close the ISSUE and enter work hours, the accuracy of measuring and predicting overall project performance will be improved.

Chart by Version. If your project is utilizing versions, this is a very useful chart. You can select any version in your project to view the chart.

Chart by Person. Very useful if you have many members in your project. You can see the performance of each member of the team, which is not possible if you only look at the project as a whole.

Chart by parent issue. This chart is for those who are managing tasks with a hierarchical structure of issues.

Chart by Tracker For those who manage trackers in a subdivided manner and do not want to include trackers in EVM calculations, you can select only the trackers you need and display the chart.
