Scheduling Projects to Development Release Schedules

by trenton.wilkins . Updated 19 years, 9 months ago

I’m just started with a new company as a PM. It’s a large legal and tax publishing company.
The development group is using a ‘software release’ schedule to develop pieces of functionality to products. It’s a 7 week duration – 4 weeks dev, 3 weeks Q&A. The problem I’m having is trying to schedule in MS Project this type of situation (new to me). I have tasks, and LOE’s for each, but I never know when a specific task will get worked on or what ‘release’ it will come out of.
I hope this makes some sense to someone. I’ve never worked in a development shop that worked this way.
Any ideas????

Thanks!
