Plan from the supplied facts
Fictional proposed release handles four standard case kinds A–D in 4 hours. Exceptional kind E requires eight additional hours. The owner’s planning assumption retains an existing manual route for E until its automated work is included. E cannot enter the limited automated path.
| Plan | Automated kinds | Hours | E route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limited | A,B,C,D | 4 | Existing manual route |
| Full shown scope | A,B,C,D,E | 12 | Included automated path |
| Mislabelled limited plan | Claims A–E at 4 h | Unsupported | No valid plan for E |
Work through the choice
A small release can be useful when its boundary and existing route are explicit. Removing E from automation does not remove E from business demand.
How much extra effort moves from the limited plan to the full shown scope?
Show the worked answer
8 hours: 12−4. Until then, E stays outside automation on the stated existing route.
Material to use in your plan
Use included case kinds, excluded kinds, their current route and effort to include each later. State the boundary in the release scope before estimating universal coverage.
