VDT 1.3.12m2 Possible Tasks

Schedule

The iteration started Monday, September 11th, and therefore ends after four weeks on Friday, October 6th.

Ergs to allocate

Without metrics for actual ergs completed in past cycles, we have no estimate for ergs for this iteration.

For this iteration, we have the following known outages:

Alain	4½ days
Andy	6 days
Tim	1½ days

Thus, we will work 48 out of a possible 60 person-days, which means we're at 80% capacity.

Tasks

Done

We completed 47 ergs this iteration. Extrapoling out to full capacity, we would have completed 59 ergs.
