Timeline & Dependencies
Gantt Chart (Visual Representation)
Week 1 (Days 1-5):
Developer 1: [Test Setup][task.py][state_mgr][orch-1][executor]
Developer 2: [Error Std][Error Lib][Orch Err][Automation][Memory]
DevOps: [Infra][Metrics][Dash-1][Dash-2][Alerts]
Week 2 (Days 6-10):
Developer 1: [Memory][Scripts][Integration][Coverage][CI/Docs]
Developer 2: [Remaining][READMEs][CLAUDEs][Links][Index]
DevOps: [Jaeger][Trace][Test][Docs][Deploy]
Critical Path
- Day 1: Test setup (1.1) must complete before any testing begins
- Day 1: Error handling framework (2.1-2.2) must complete before script updates
- Day 1: Infrastructure setup (3.1) must complete before metrics collection
- Day 9: Coverage analysis (1.11) requires all unit tests complete
- Day 10: CI integration (1.12) requires coverage analysis complete
- Day 6: Navigation files (2.7-2.8) can start after error handling complete
- Day 8: Monitoring integration test (3.8) requires all instrumentation complete
Parallel Work Streams
- Fully Parallel: Workstreams 1, 2, 4 can proceed independently for Days 1-5
- Partially Parallel: Developer 2 can work on documentation (Days 6-7) while Developer 1 completes testing
- Sequential: CI integration (1.12) must wait for coverage analysis (1.11)
Risk Management
High Risk Items
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test coverage falls short of 60% | Medium | High | Add Day 11 buffer if needed, prioritize high-value modules |
| Prometheus integration complex | Medium | Medium | Use prometheus_client library (well-documented), allocate extra time if needed |
| Broken link fixes reveal deeper issues | Low | Medium | Limit scope to critical links only, defer non-blocking fixes to Phase 2 |
| Developer availability | Low | High | Cross-train team members, maintain documentation of progress |
Mitigation Strategies
- Daily Standups: 15-minute sync each morning to identify blockers
- Mid-Week Checkpoint: Day 3 review to assess progress, adjust plan if needed
- Slack Time: 20% buffer built into estimates for unexpected issues
- Fallback Plan: If test coverage target not met by Day 9, extend to Day 12 (acceptable 2-day delay)
