13SUMMARY
- Delivered 152 StoryPoints during Sprint
- Concluded Billing work
- Sprint challenges for performance and quality
- Drop in Off-Shore velocity (20) caused by
defects detected during acceptance - Increasing Off-Shore defects (39 this Sprint, 50
increase) - Less then expected Near-Shore velocity
expectations not set right - Switching 1 Off-Shore team from Policy to Claims,
may not be enough for Claims to reach targets for
2018 - Decision on CWS re-use There is agreement that
PO and Architects feel it will be less work
overall to provide new IIP services rather than
attempt to work with the existing code - Hiring near shore app architect lead core
architect in progress - Testing process re-evaluated and modified for
all teams
14BUDGET
- March development actuals 777,390 ( 198,948
below budget of 976,338 ) - March product management actuals
113,179( 27,584 over budget of 85,595) - 2018 Forecast
- 2018 Dev 9,346k (-/- 1,445k)
- 2018 Prod 905k (/ 15k)
- 2018 Total 10,251k (-/- 1,430k)
15PROJECT RISKS
- Calendar time is our single biggest challenge
- Moving 1 team to Claims may not be enough to meet
year-end objectives (vs. jeopardizing Policy
Portal) - Attrition and retention in GHT and InsBroker
- Quality performance challenges in GHT teams
(impact of SLAs) - Ramp-up in SouthSoft teams slower than projected
- Potential Claims backlog readiness upon full
velocity - Technical unknowns based on Architecture Analysis
