Scenario
Prior to beginning work on the Roadside Assistance application, stakeholders have requested an estimate of the project size and scope. The estimate is used to consider staffing models and provide an approximate delivery date. Using the Case Designer, assign releases to the Channels and data objects associated with the Assistance Request and Service Case Types. Then, run the Estimator tool to calculate the sizing estimate for the MLP 1 release.
