# You
*sufficient experience*. Not too many unknowns, experience with most parts of final product.
> Issue-management requires a web (frontend + backend) / app combination. Server-generated content, CRUD, API, heavy client-side functionality, usability, many features, large data storage, synchronization, translations.
*sufficient trust*. Understand where trust is coming from and how to maintain it.
> Based on a previous project: Deliver early.
> Based on personal recommendation: Maintain relationships.
*sufficient capabilities*. Control over technological & organisational aspects.
> Need to deploy to a server: Have full control over how & when deployments happen

# Plan a successful project
<i>Claim: Small projects (&lt;300h) are accurately estimatable in both time and cost.</i>

# Create project plan
Steps:
- Understand problem to be solved
- Formulate requirements
- Estimate cost, reward
- Schedule implementation
- Analyse risks
- Feedback & repeat
Reduced uncertainty as much as possible?
Contract with customer & start!
---
# Understand business
Interview those who use & those who pay.
Research industry, similar products & solutions (potentially of different industries).
Listen carefully:
- Repetitive "uncreative" work (=automatable)
- Proposed solutions
- Tedious tasks (=sucks)
---
# Formulate requirements
Decompose concept to suitable abstraction level.
YAGNI: Effort increases in O(exponential) due to complexity.

# Estimate requirements
Cannot predict the future -> how to estimate cost?
Can estimate relative complexity!
Tipps:
- Use coarse-grained numbers (Fibonaccy)
- With more unknowns, tend to increase complexity
Same for rewards.
---
# Schedule implementation
Combine features into sensible packages.
Resolve dependencies.
Decide upon milstones.
---
# Risk analysis
For overall project & for each feature collect risks.
> Users prefer different tool
> Team-member quits project before completion
> Server too slow for estimated data size
For each risk:
- Avoid: Eliminate the risk (avoid feature / use different solutions)
- Transfer: Shift the impact to a 3rd party (like your customer)
- Mitigate: Decrease the probability or impact (formulate "Plan B")
<span class="color-red">Do not skip risk analysis.</span>

# Contract
Formulate a constract about the project.
Content:
- Vision ("Sales-pitch")
- Requirements on suitable abstraction level
- Schedule & Milestones
- Price & Payment agreements
- Legal: Intellectual Property, Bugfixing, Maintenance
Courses:
- [E-Business Recht](http://www.vvz.ethz.ch/Vorlesungsverzeichnis/lerneinheit.view?lerneinheitId=139975&semkez=2020W) (HS)
- [Contract Design](http://www.vvz.ethz.ch/Vorlesungsverzeichnis/lerneinheit.view?lerneinheitId=141671&semkez=2020W) (HS)

**Up until now, an estimated 10 - 30% of total project effort has been spend!**
Do not work for free: For bigger projects, sell requirements engineering or proof of concept.
