Current Progress : 75%
Current Iteration : 9
1st Oct - 14th Oct
Team faced some delay in a few iterations but made up for it by completing the last iteration in less than estimated time. Team is confident of delivering the project on time.
Our implementation is divided into two parts : Trade Portal for importer and exporter and Trade Operations for Issuing Bank and Advising Bank. Below is the scope of our project and the functionalities we have completed till now :

In the process we needed to finish Amendment before Shipping Guarantee and Trust Receipt. The main changes are from iteration 6 onwards. Also, we had to add the payment functionality into the iteration plan.

Payment Advise functionality was added and Bill Discounting functionality was omitted from the scope of the project.

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. |
Quality of Product
There should be some evidence of work in progress.
