Adding project monthly report template #554

Closed DBees closed 1 year ago

DBees commented 1 year ago

This template will be used by each project to create a concise report that will live in the appropriate task group folder in the programs repo. The template has a link to the project gate information for that project with schedule.

How do we address projects that span over multiple TGs, e.g. cores that span over Cores TG, Verification TG and Software TG?

There will be few such projects and currently there are none. Core design and verification efforts are managed as CTG projects, and this is appropriate. For example, the CV32E40X project has both design and verification tasks and is well managed as a CTG, not VTG project. CORE-V-MCU-UVM is a VTG project which makes sense given the design is static, save for bug fixes in the RTL. In the case of our existing software projects, the division is even easier to see.

If OpenHW should ever launch a project that truly does span multiple TGs, we can address it at that time.

I think this is fine for resourced hardware projects, but doesn't work quite so well for software projects.

Your point is well taken @jeremybennett. Perhaps we can merge the two templates into a single format that serves the needs of both.

DBees commented 1 year ago

@jeremybennett I specifically want to include the project gate context into the monthly report. Tying the monthly activities into the bigger plan is, I think the missing link. The software projects specifically all remain at the initial gate and have done for extended periods. I don't think adding the gate schedule requires any effort other than establishing the schedule and then updating where the project stands from time to time.

@MikeOpenHWGroup Yes let's edit so we have one common template

DBees commented 1 year ago

@jeremybennett It is now updated and almost the same as the SW template, except that the gate table is included at the end, and "issues and difficulties" section is added in bullet form.

LGTM.
