+ | " Using this new application, I will be able to more effectively teach Trade Finance to my MITB class. The hands-on use of the tool will help to drive home the main learning points of the course.The tool functions nearly like a “real” Trade Finance system a bank might use, and it implements industry standard message formats, eg; SWIFT and ISO. This is the first FYP project that I am aware of that implements a BPM engine, and it would be useful to demo the application in PMSB. Ngee Ann Poly will also use this application to support their Financial Informatics Diploma course. "<br/> | ||

Purpose
|
Feedback from students :
Average scores of the students against an expert user (our group member)
- Team with highest score had 292 points
- Team with lowest scores had 203 points
- Assuming 300 is the best score a team can have, all teams scored over 68%
- Top 5 teams received prizes since they scored above 90% (>=270 points)

Below is the distribution of bugs based on their severity for each iteration:
Risk | Consequences | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
---|---|---|---|---|
Team is unfamiliar with technologies used. | Project will be potentially delayed due to incorrect estimates. | High | High | Team members will research and guide each others. Project manager will allocate more time to this task. |
Delay in development due to downtime of server. | Front-end and IBM BPM implementation not possible if the server is down. | Low | High | Coordinate with the client on a regular basis to modify the schedule if required. |
Failure to factor in minor coding tasks due to lack of experience. | Project will be potentially delayed as these minor tasks need to be performed. | Medium | Medium | PM has to work closely with the Back-End and front-end lead developers and bridge the gap between business process and technical components. |
Quality of Product
There should be some evidence of work.

Reflection
Client's View
" Using this new application, I will be able to more effectively teach Trade Finance to my MITB class. The hands-on use of the tool will help to drive home the main learning points of the course.The tool functions nearly like a “real” Trade Finance system a bank might use, and it implements industry standard message formats, eg; SWIFT and ISO. This is the first FYP project that I am aware of that implements a BPM engine, and it would be useful to demo the application in PMSB. Ngee Ann Poly will also use this application to support their Financial Informatics Diploma course. "
