開發人員最困難的工作之一是估算開發進度。開發人員通常會被專案經理或客戶要求估算整體開發進度。以下是一篇英文電子郵件範例,假設情境是要求估算開發進度和相關回覆。
請求估算開發進度的信件
Request for Development Timeline Estimation for [Feature/Project Name]

會議請求和日程確認的信件
無論規模或預算如何,明確訂定專案需求是一項艱鉅的任務。因此,一旦有需要明確訂定的需求,就要召集相關人員開會。以下是會議請求電子郵件範例,用於明定專案需求。
Request for Meeting to Discuss Requirements for [Feature/Project Name]
討論[功能/專案名稱]需求的會議請求
Dear Steven,
I hope you’re having a good day. As we are in the planning phase of the [feature/project name], I believe it's crucial for us to have a clear understanding of the requirements.
希望你今天過得愉快。由於我們正處於[功能/專案名稱]的規劃階段,我認為清楚了解需求對我們至關重要。
So, I would like to propose a meeting to discuss the following:
因此,我提議召開一次會議,討論以下問題:
• Detailed requirements for features
功能詳細需求
• Expected deliverables
預期交付成果
• Potential challenges and solutions
潛在的挑戰和解決方案
Would you be available for a meeting on [date] at [time]? If not, please suggest alternative dates and times that work for you.
[日期] [時間]您可以參加會議嗎?如果不行,請建議適合您的替代日期和時間。
Looking forward to your response.
期待您的回覆。

會議日程確定後,通常會在2~3天前發送電子郵件,確認是否能如期參加會議。以下是確認是否出席會議的英語電子郵件範例。
Confirmation for Meeting on [Date] to Discuss [Feature/Project Name]
確認 [日期] 會議日程以討論 [功能/專案名稱]
Dear Steven,
I hope all is well with you. As we have a scheduled meeting on [date] at [time] to discuss the requirements for [feature/ project name], I wanted to confirm if we are still on track for this meeting.
希望您一切都好。由於我們計劃於 [日期] [時間] 召開會議,討論[功能/項目名稱]的需求,我想確認我們是否仍按計劃進行本次會議。
Please let me know if the date and time still work for you or if there are any changes needed.
請告訴我該日期和時間是否仍然適合您,或是否需要進行任何更改。

[NOTE]估算開發時程的方法
估算開發時程的方法有三種,由上而下(top-down)、由下而上(down-top)、類比 (analogous)估算法和三點(tree-point)估算法等。如果了解以下與開發時程估算有關的用語和英語表達,可使溝通更加順暢。
• Top-down estimating involves breaking down the work from the highest level of deliverables and expertise to estimate the duration and cost.
由上而下估算法是從最高階段的可交付成果拆解工作,以專業知識估算任務工期和成本。
• Bottom-up estimating starts with the most detailed level of tasks and aggregates them to give an overall estimate.
由下而上估算法是從最細部的任務層級開始,再匯整之後進行總體估算。
• Analogous estimating uses data from past projects that are similar to the current project to estimate duration and cost.
類比估算法是參考與目前專案相似的以往專案,根據其資料來估算任務工期和成本。
• Three-point estimating uses optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely scenarios to provide a range of estimates.
三點估計法使用樂觀、悲觀和最可能的情境來提供估算的範圍。(本文摘錄整理自《軟體工程師的英語使用守則》,EZ叢書館提供)
