Yep, huge companies like Intel use work-weeks for everything. For e.g. planning huge engineering projects was easy:
- WW02-WW16: Conceptual Development
- WW17: CDR
- WW18-46: Detail Design
- WW46-48: DDR
- WW48-52: Validation/Testing
- WW01-02: Ship to customer
So you could just now know how many weeks it took exactly for each phase:
- [14] WW02-WW16: Conceptual Development
- [1] WW17: CDR
- [28] WW18-46: Detail Design
- [2] WW46-48: DDR
- [4] WW48-52: Validation/Testing
- [2] WW01-02: Ship to customer
- inetknght 7y agoI appreciate the usefulness of using weeks to measure time. But on a side note: less than 10% of time assigned for validation/testing and at the very end of a project is, in my experience, extremely ambitious.
- spectramax 7y agoLol, please ignore the details, I just quickly wrote it down without thinking to just make a point :) But I agree, its a ridiculous timeline!
- yitchelle 7y agoThe ISO weeks are also big in automotive, especially on projects that span over a number of years. It automatically aligned most activities to have a duration measured in whole weeks. Sure, you can use fractional weeks, but then it gets really messy really quick.
