Alerting is NOT working:
- Options – do something OR do nothing
- Alternates for do something
- For subscribers – only notifications on changes; other interactions – systems logs in and can be checked
- Smart alerts (content based changes)
- Smart alerts (content based changes with incentive based alerts) – effectively same as smart alerts above but we recharge mobile based on some criteria (one person per project per month)
Smart alerts
- Core concept – for assignees
- Everyone has an A grade; goal is to keep it, upgrade to A* or downgrade based on OR
- Everyone earns points for actions done or not done
- Weight for issue [NOTE: issue is proxy for agenda item, document, task, BOQ line item, material, labor skill]
- Priority of issue, document, task, BOQ line item, material, labor skill [Priority – High – 5; Medium – 3; Low – 1]; [Issue – 3; Document – 5; Task/Activity – 7; BOQ item – 10]
- Importance of issue – on critical path (high), float is Delta (x% of project duration) (medium), rest of them (low) [High – 10; Medium – 5; Low – 2]
- Attached to schedule (yes) or not (no) [Yes – 100; No – 1]
- Weight of issue: [Priority * Activity * Importance * Schedule Attached]
- Weight for assignee
- Grade status (effectively proxy for reliability)
- # of reminders before issue is closed [1st reminder – 1; 2nd reminder – 1/2; 3rd reminder – 1/3]
- # of due date changes [<2 repetitions – 1; <5 repetitions – 1/2; >5 repetitions – 1/3]
- # of years as nPulse user [<5 yrs – 1; <10 yrs – 1/2; >10 yrs – 1/3]
- # of reminders open/read [>80% - 1; 20% – 80% - 1/2; <20% - 1/3]
- #/frequency of login [>3times a week – 1; >3 times a month – 1/2; <3 times a month – 1/3]
- Frequency of alerting
- {dueDate – today} / 3; rounded up [daily, 3 days, weekly, 15 days, monthly, quarterly]
- 1 reminder 3 days before due date if NOT a duplicate of above
- 1 reminder on due date
- 1 reminder 3 days after due date
- 30 days after due date – auto close with notification
- 1 SMS reminder 1 day before due date and on auto close
- Point calculations
- Base value: projectValue / # of days of project
- BaseValue*frequency*WeightForAssignee*WeightForIssue
- Bonus depending on # of alerts responded to – [>80% - 50% bonus; 40 – 80% - 25% bonus; <40% - no bonus]
- Message variations (few suggestions):
