Proposal Effort Evaluation

As part of the Profile Proposal Process, the Technical Committee estimates the effort required (in terms of TC Bandwidth) to develop each of the proposals. The effort estimate is considered by the Planning Committee when they prioritize and select which Profiles will be developed this cycle.

The TC in each domain chooses how it estimates. This page reflects some ideas being tried out in the IHE Radiology domain. The idea is to expand on the Breakdown of Tasks section in the Brief Proposal Template by estimating "effort points" for each task. Turns out Agile has already thought of everything cool :-), so the material below borrows from Story Points.

Method

Proposer Homework

After the Brief proposal has passed the Short List vote, the proposal editors should create a Detailed Proposal by copying the Delta Proposal Template into the bottom of your proposal page and editing appropriately. This include adding a Breakdown of Tasks section.
