Changes In Schedule

Iteration Date of Schedule Revision Change in Schedule Reason Mitigation
6 3 Sept 2017 Switched iteration 7 features (Learning Module) and iteration 8 (Payments Module) Payments module had the higher technology risk (sponsor given payments API integration) and hence required by team to tackle earlier. All preparation (API given by sponsor, understanding of payments API by development team) was done and team is ready to implement payments in iteration 7.
7 17 Sept 2017 Added new feature (pre/post lab quiz) in learning module Sponsor request to add pre/post lab quiz to improve value proposition of KineticLoans as a learning platform. Team reviewed and accepted addition of feature Analytics module features were pushed to iteration 9. PM and Backend team re-estimated their efforts for iteration and assigned tasks accordingly.
7 17 Sept 2017 AWS Deployment date was shifted from 18 Sept to 21st Sept. Effort required for Funding and Repayments module exceeded expectations. Team postponed AWS deployment date to 21st Sept (iteration 8) to allow completion of module
7 18 Sept 2017 UAT 2 date was shifted from 21 Sept to 29 Sept Delay in deployment of application due to effort required for Funding and Repayments module Postpone UAT to 29 Sept to allow for deployment and sufficient preparation

Reflection

Team Reflection:

Over the duration of the project, the team has improved its performance in the areas of project management and application development to ensure we meet our sponsor's expectations for the KineticLoans application. We have overcome major hurdles (completion of major technology risk, delays in timeline, additional features, etc.) to ensure project success and we aim to carry forward this momentum till our finals!

Individual Reflection:

Sandeep: "As PM, I realized the importance of my role in maintaining oversight of the entire team's progress in face of risks such as requirements inflation, delays in timeline, etc. I also understood that maintaining regular communication with other stakeholders (sponsor and supervisor) reduced instances of such key risks occurring in our project”

Isha: "I have gained a valuable experience in working with KineticLoans UX to ensure ease of use for our primary users (students and professors)”

Vani: "Since acceptance, I have successfully improved/modernized our application UI. I learnt how to create a design that is efficient and intuitive use as well as appealing to our target users ”

Shalabh: "Since the acceptance milestone, I have had the opportunity to work on two different things. The first involved invoking external APIs to enforce the Payments process for our application. This being the first time, I was able to test my logical and technical complexity and improve on my Java skills and DB management skills. This also increased my business side knowledge since I had to read up about different payment terms, and understand what each represents in order to ensure that the logic flow was smooth. Along with this, I got to further my Javascript knowledge by using existing libraries and frameworks(D3.js and JQuery) to build the borrower dashboard, which involved retrieving relevant data from our DB, and finding an effective way to represent this data.”

Aditya: "I got a chance to learn and implement Javascript and experience managing, testing and deploying an app of this scale for the first time”

Meher: "I have gained practical experience in the areas of designing and implementing tests, debugging and outlining corrective actions and conducting continuous tracking of quality assurance metrics. ”
