Assessing schedule risk in My Work view

In addition to viewing the status of one's work in the My Work view, you can assess the schedule risk for your planned work items. The Schedule Risk Assessment plan is available only for the Standard and Enterprise edition of IBM® Rational Team Concert™.
About this task
A good practice is to provide minimal, original, and maximal estimates for a work item. If the minimal estimate is not provided, the original estimate is divided by 2 to get the minimal estimate. Similarly, if the maximum estimate is not provided, the original estimate is multiplied by 2 to get the maximal estimate. These estimates are used to simulate the probability of work items being completed on time. To provide minimal, original, and maximal estimates, right-click a work item and click Show Work Item.

To assess schedule risk in My Work view:

  1. Open My Work view. Add My Work view if it is not currently displayed. Click Window > Show View > Other > Work Items > My Work.

  3. To colorize the risky work items, click the menu control, and click Schedule Risk Assessment > Colorize Results.
