hi I'm Zena and I Am project manager and
solutions architect at nunet next month
marks my two-year anniversary at nunet
and I have high expectations for the
impactful work we are doing here with a
master's degree in computer science and
more than two decades of experience I
have contributed to launch new software
and Hardware products in the
Telecommunications and energy
sectors my P primary aim here at nunet
is to facilitate the launch of our
decentralized platform offering numerous
potential use case on top of it today
I'd like to share about two
methodologies with we are using atnet to
assist us in organizing our project
structuring our road maps allocating
results executing tasks and ultimately
achieving our
objectives the first methodolog is
kangan this approach is used by a teams
to better visualize workflows and
project progress while reducing the
likelihood of Boton
X at net we use this combine
board and it's in our git lab space and
public here you can see tasks in the
backlog tasks that the team is currently
working on and tasks in review the C
colum on hold help us to see the botton
ne so that we can prioritize unblocking
them at nunet we also implement the
critical chain project
management this methodology involves
planning projects by account the actual
capacity of resource and direct Team
Management Focus toward critical
aspects a critical chain is the longest
sequence of tasks taking into account
the logical sequence and the results
availability the critical chain
determines the project
duration before present the ccpm
diagrams that we are using in nunet I'd
like to
share Net's road map for this year and
beginning of the
next here our planet milestones
D Ms architector update and refactory
public Alpha Solutions decentralized SPO
Computing public Alpha main net public
beta main net I will not explain in
detail but here you can see the overall
idea of each
one DMS is Net's main decentralized
component and we are effecting it to
better accommodate the needs we saw
necessary to achieve the road map for
2024 in the centralized SPO Computing
nunet will enable spos to run Computing
workflows on community provision
Hardware increasing resilience and
aiding decentralization on
cardan we have two public
releases in the solutions we will build
a decentralized deployment layer to run
workflows integrated into NX ecosystem
without crypto micro payment layer in
the main at we will add the crypto micro
payment layer and we will use more
device types to run the
workflows the beta version is planned
for
2025 returning to the ccpm
methodology I'd like to share some
diagrams that are accessible on nunet G
book space
on the left side you will find a list of
Milestones clicking on any
Milestone we'll lead you to a page with
links
here we have a link to the Milestone
page in gitlab that shows the
deliverables expected to this
milestone
additionally we have all
four
diagrams showing the work packages and
the dependence between
them in blue we are representing the
work packages
and a work package is a collection of
related tasks with defined deliverables
that are part of an overall
milestone for the DMS architecture and
refactoring we need to design and
Implement some packages as the
orchestrator package job package storage
package Network Telemetry and so
on for designing did this orchestrator
package we did some research to get
insights and understand the literature
around scheduling orchestration of jobs
when Outsourcing Computing so we created
this work package job orchestration to
deal with that
resarch as I said a work package is a
collection of related tasks so clicking
in a work
package
we can see the tasks associated with it
and the stating according to Coman here
backlog doing
review the remaining
duration of a task in
backlog is actually the estimated
duration for implementing that task and
this estimation is done considering
perfect
conditions okay in ccpn methodology we
call this a focus
duration the remaining duration for a
task in doing or in riew is the
remaining days we saw necessary to
finish implementing that
task the scope
buffer is created to deal with
uncertainty for instance if we need to
create another
task inside this work package here in
the scope buffer we are saving this so
if we need to create a new task we use
these
days for implementing that
tasks finally the remaining duration in
a in a work package is the ccpm e
etc etc is the earliest time to
completion and it's calculated
considering the results constraint and
the sequence of
tasks here we can see that the same
person is doing the tasks inside this
work package so for calculating the
remaining duration in the work package
that is thec we need to
sum the remaining duration of each
task we didn't count review uh because
the the review will be done by another
person so it can be done in
parallel so uh the remaining duration
for the work packageing will be three +
2 + two and + three days here in the
scope buffer so so 10 remaining
days clicking on a work package you go
to the work package page in gitlab and
can see the defined deliverables and the
tasks to implement
it here the tasks to implement it it's
the same tasks that are shown here and
if you click in and of them you will see
a git lab page for that task containing
a detailed
description about that
task finally I want to talk about the
gank shart and the fever shart in
ccpm we are working on automating the
generation of these two sharts but since
we haven't finished yet I added here
sharts that we were manually generated
for another project last
year we use three k shart
views one with all the work
packages one with only the walk package
in the critical
chain and a simplified one showing the
project buffer at the end of the
project remember that we used Focus
duration while estimating task duration
and they don't take into account the
probable problems during
execution so the ccpm methodology
inserts a project buffer at the end of
the project as shown here the project to
a date is therefore the end date of the
project B buffer in this case April
22
the ccpm use a simple visual indicator
called the FIV chart the FIV chart is
built by measuring the progress of the
project uh I mean the percentage of a
achievement of the critical chain and
the consumption of the project
buffer this uh figure was obtained from
a marage Consulting article and repres
presents a six- week project that was
monitored on a weekly basis at the end
of the first week under
20 of percent of critical chain was
completed with approximately 15% of
project buffer
consumed since it falls within the green
zone the project completion date is not
in danger and no specific action is
required at the end of the second
week we see that the project is in the
yellow zone this indicates that the
project buffer has been consumed too
quickly compared to the task progress at
this point corrective actions should be
considered between week three and week
four there is no progress on the
critical chain and the project buffer
has been heavily consumed this situation
needs a fast intervention to avoid
compromising the project completion
date the next curve shows that the
situation has been brought back under
control and the project ultimately
finished with I light advance in week
six according to the ccpm to ensure that
all projects are completed on time they
must be finished ahead of
schedule the critical chain approach is
also used to manage project
portfolios we can create a f chart
containing all the projects because the
two xes are calculated in percentages so
we can have projects with different
scales alog
together this project portfolio FIV
chart helps manage the projects
considering
priorities in this
example we have nine projects and
project P2 needs urgent corrective
actions and project P5 needs
attention that's all for now I've given
a brief overview of how we manage
projects at net using combine and ccpn
methodologies feel free to explore our
work package in the technical dependence
diagram I have shown to see our current
progress Planet tasks and
deliverables thank you for your interest
in our projects
goodbye
