Team faced some delay in a few iterations but made up for it by completing the last iteration in less than estimated time.

Below are the reasons for high and low schedule metrics for the iterations :
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. |
Feature Involved | Description of Technical Complexity | What is to be achieved as the end result |
---|---|---|
Web service calling from BPM. | Use of SOAP request message and IBM BPM mapping to make web services call from IBM BPM. | BPM can access data from the database only through web services in order to read a Letter of Credit, uploaded documents and other data. |
Exposing web service through BPM. | Use of undercover agent feature of IBM BPM. | This is used in order to trigger the BPM process by a web service call or any action from the front-end portal. |
Messaging standard web services between banks. | Use of Gateway that supports both SWIFT and ISO standards. | Banks have different standards for sending messages across each other. The gateway is used for sending advise and acknowledgement messages from one bank to the other. |
