Sprint No. | Date | Category | Change Description | Reason for Request | Accept/Reject | Priority | Status of Request |
4 | 19 Aug 2016 | Application | To change the Speech-to-text API from Nuance API to Google API | Nuance API was becoming unstable and even crashing the app regularly | Accept | Accept & High Priority | Closed |
5 | 31 Aug 2016 | X-Factor | X- factor to be changed from getting 20 live users to test our app to getting GDSs to validate our app and analytics platform | X-factor not able to be done as client is not comfortable with getting the 20 live UOB customers to test the app. | Accept | Accept & High Priority | Closed |
5 | 2 Sep 2016 | Analytics Dashboard | To deploy our analytics dashboard on their own Tocco Azure Server | Client wants to have the analytics deployed on their own Azure server so that they can access the dashboard and maintain control over the dashboard as sensitive data will be hosted on it. | Accept | Accept & High Priority | Closed |
6 | 1 Sep 2016 | Application | To add mock flight data which are tagged as UOB preferred | Client would like us to mock out some flight data which are UOB preferred so we can simulate such flights | Accept | Accept & Low Priority | Closed |
6 | 17 Sep 2016 | Application | Remove Notification Module - Boarding Gate Updates and belt no. | API were not available and creating or sourcing for an API would be too time-consuming | Accept | Accept & Low Priority | Closed |
6 | 20 Sep 2016 | Application | Update project version to be compatible with iOS 10. | To future proof the app so that future development on the app will be easier to integrate. This will reduce the risk of libraries becoming outdated in the future. | Accept | Accept & High Priority | Closed |
6 | 23 Sep 2016 | Application | Formally removed seat-booking function, update current booking function, SMS function | There are no APIs are available and implementing it ourselves would be very time-consuming.

Project Risks
To view past risks that the team may have/may not been affected by, please visit: IS480 Team wiki: 2016T1 Airvolution-Risk Management
Risk Type | Risk Event | Likelihood | Impact Level | Category | Strategy Adopted | Actions | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Client Risk | Initial X-factor unable to be done as client does not want to expose his clients to the POC yet as our project is just the start. There are many more components which need to be added before it is ready to be shown to clients which is out of our scope. | HIGH | HIGH | HIGH | Mitigate | Actively engage client to give us another party to validate our app. Client was able to get us Amadeus to vet our progress and app and to give comments for us to learn and improve on. Client has yet to meet Amadeus | Fail |
Technology Risk | The launch of iOS 10 would result in some libraries becoming incompatible, which would result in the app not being functional | HIGH | HIGH | HIGH | Mitigate | Plan a task for the app team to update the project to be compatible with iOS 10 and make the app future proof | Success |
Dependency Risk | As we are using an external API for the speech-to-text, if the API provider becomes unusable, the app will not be functional | HIGH | HIGH | HIGH | Mitigate | Switch to Google-API as it is more stable. | Success |
Technical Overview
Technical Complexity
3DS Authentication Send API request to Tocco’s payment URL Response returned will consist of bank’s ACS URL Start phone server Send POST Request to ACS URL with URL of phone server ACS URL returned will consist of page for OTP. OTP HTML will be sent as response which will be rendered on the app User will receive OTP from bank which he will enter. After entering OTP, a POST request will be sent from the bank’s server to which the phone server will receive indicating the payment was a success Once the payment succeeds, the server will be shut down.
User submits price watch and the details of price watched is stored on Firebase. NodeJS Server runs an hourly check on pricing by retrieving prices via Tocco’s API If lowest price for flight is within 10% of the max pricing or less, NodeJS Server sends a notification user’s phone via Firebase

Project Management | Minutes | There are 3 types of minutes being maintained: Client Minutes, Supervisor Minutes and Internal Minutes. Our minutes can be found here: Meeting Minutes |
Metrics | We maintain 3 types of metrics to monitor our progress: Sprint Velocity, Scrum Burn down Chart, Bug Metrics. Our metrics can be viewed here: Metrics | |
Change Management | Whenever changes are being made, the team will deliberate and decide on the severity and importance before coming to a group decision of accepting or dropping the change. Our changes can be viewed here: <URL> | |
Risk Management | We have a risk metrics in place to keep track of the risks that may disrupt the success of our project as well as our mitigation. Our risks and mitigation can be viewed here Metrics | |
Sprint Backlog | To look for the breakdown of tasks completed at each sprint, our Sprint Backlog can be viewed here: Sprint Backlog | |
Testing | User test plan | Every sprint, the QA team will conduct an integration and regression testing to ensure that the app is still working fine after the new implementations and to look for more corner cases in order to make the app more stable. |
Design & Research | Use case | This is the use case diagram for our iOS app and management dashboard. Our diagram can be viewed here [[ https://drive.google.com/a/smu.edu.sg/file/d/0By0L3h6EiBjBdDM1RWtMS29ETW8/view?usp=sharing%7C Use Case]] |
Market Study | We conducted a market study of the popular travels apps in the market to see what are the unique selling points and mandatory features that these apps share to help validate our client's claim that there is a gap in the market for speech-to-text booking and a recommendation engine. Our research can be viewed here: Market Study | |
