The worst way to answer: To estimate
hours per task
Actual hours =
Σ estimated hours per task * “load factor” * “management overhead” * fudge factor
Actual hours =
Σ estimated hours per task * whatever

Creating the backlog
• Vision• Usage flow
• Product backlog
Vision, stakeholder
For Exilesoft Global Employees
Who wants to take leave from work
The MyLeave
Is a responsive web application
Which lets them register leave applications and get them approved
Unlike current LMS/Standard Systems
Our product can be used globally/has the advantage of integratability and flexibility
Usage flow
1. HR admin logs in via Exilesoft SSO (same for the other stakeholders)
2. HR admin navigates to MyLeave
3. HR admin allocates leave quotas based on information in HR database
4. HR admin builds company calendar
5. HR admin adjusts the leave quota for an individual user in HR system
6. HR admin assigns leave approvers from uses in HR system
7. Employee views their available leave
8. Employee submits leave request
9. MyLeave notifies Team leader of a new pending leave request via email
10. Team leader or delivery manager views pending leave applications
11. Team leader or delivery manager checks the other leaves in the same time period
12. Team leader or PMO approves leave
13. MyLeave notifies Employee of an update of his leave request via email
14. Employee checks status of own leave application
15. Employee cancels own leave
16. PMO views the teams' leave calendar, plans and history
17. PMO may cancel leave if necessary
