Summary

Milestone risk estimator plug-in for HCL DevOps Velocity estimates value stream management sprint risk and provides estimated result in metrics P.R.E Risk (Probabilistic Risk Estimator) which shows the evaluated risk as percentage and P.R.E Deadline (Probabilistic Risk Estimator) which shows an estimated deadline. There are two scheduled events ExecuteTrain and ExecutePrediction. ExecuteTrain is for training the model and ExecutePrediction is for predicting the risk of current active sprint. It collects work item data and use them to train the model and predict the risk. The default training frequency is a week and default prediction frequency is a day. Any closed work items are queried for training and open work items of active sprint are queried and used for predicting the risk. At the end of every prediction, the prediction results are inserted as metrics.

Compatibility

The Milestone Risk Estimator plug-in requires HCL DevOps Velocity version 5.0.0 or later.

Usage

To use the Milestone Risk Estimator plug-in, the plug-in must be loaded, and an instance created before you can configure the plug-in integration. You define configuration properties in the user interface.

Integration type

The Milestone Risk Estimator plug-in supports scheduled events integration which are listed in the following table.

Scheduled events
