Project Introduction:
This project aims to develop a robust, intuitive front-end user interface (UI) complemented by a flexible and reliable back-end system, as the goal is for the City of Kamloops – Property Information Portal to redefine how it allows its residents and businesses to engage regarding property-related information and services.
Current public-facing application: https://propertyinfo.kamloops.ca/
Development Model:
A hybrid of Agile and Waterfall:
- Agile approach:
Weekly meetings with client-team to define weekly sprints and redefine requirements if required. - Waterfall Approach:
Must have functional requirements for Property Information Portal.
The reason I opted for the above approach is that there are two main aspects of the project:
- Clearly defined design and functional optimizations/requirements by client:
Business owners had defined functional and non-functional requirements as ‘must have’ to enhance the user experience and usability of the application. - Iterative design and development process with early prototypes for key features, followed by sprint design and development.
- Weekly Sprints – detailing work done last week and a team meeting addressing concerns with any aspect of the project or deliverable.
Planned Project Timeline:
This timeline was decided during the first sprint based on the client’s requirements Week 2- September – Sprint 1
Completed Milestones: Sprint 6 (current Sprint)
