Remote Team Member

Team Strong Points Operational View Technical View
Team members are very collaborative and goal oriented, they are always willing to help. Everybody has taken up their role and has been productive. Team members are always eager to learn new technologies (AngularJS, GraphQL) and tools (JIRA, GIT). Team keeps regular communication using “Whatsapp” and “Slack”. Weekly meeting. Team uses effectively the free resources provided by internet. Ex. Google Drive, Google Docs.

Team Weak Points Operational View Mitigation Technical View Mitigation
Difficult to set meeting hours where everybody is available due to different personal schedules. Using internet resource as “doodle” we can find the time periods that fits the best for most of the team members. As this is a two semester project and some of the team members will be not in second semester. We are going to lose knowledge. Make sure that the architectural decisions and code are well documented. Technical View Mitigation Most of team members don’t have experience in IT industry. Look for expert experience in current course, in internet, and using it as reference. Most of team members don't have experience using Angular JS or GraphQL. Look for tutorials and documentation in internet.

Technical Concerns And Solutions
AngularJS requires a lot of JavaScript files to load and this can result in website performance issues. Dynamic on demand load of JavaScript files using other products like RequireJS. Module dependency management Create unit and integration tests. Incorrect or inadequate interfaces with other systems like Zillow or Google API. We need to manage versions of the web or rest APIs provided by Zillow and Google. GraphQL poor performance for complex queries. Enabling Apollo Engine to cache query results for a certain time. Deficient website usability and understandability.. We provide prototypes to the client in order to know if the design is going well.

Operational Concept Description

System Purpose The Real Estate Investment and Review Tool is built for people with money who would like to invest on property to rent out. This allows prospective investors a medium to search for trustworthy and capable service providers. Investors can keep track of the financial performance of their properties. Users can review and rate service providers with whom they have worked or know. Service providers can reply to reviews on their page. People can discuss on different topics the discussion boards. Admin can use the blog to post about related topics.

Shared Vision Create a web application to find, review, rate and discuss about Service Providers in real estate sector. Web application to allow users to track their investments. Provide service providers ability to reply to reviews about them. Provide the admin with an ability to access the website usage statistics, to post on the blog and to moderate the site.

Program Model Stakeholders Initiatives Value Propositions
Assumptions: Users will use the website once its deployed. Website will always be up from the server side. Website is able to connect with Google and Zillow APIs. Client (Maintainer) keeps the system updated and moderated. Users provide and add to the list of service providers over time. Stakeholders Initiatives Value Propositions Beneficiaries Developers: Team Members Client: Alex Miller Ashley O’Brian Maintainer (Admin): Users: Investors Service Providers Develop the website. Provide Requirements Win Conditions Hosting the System Feedback/Input Provide initial Service Provider data to populate the system. Use the System Test the System Moderate the Site Post on the Blog Add service provider data when needed Provides a trustworthy platform for new investors to search for service providers in an area no known to them. Decreases the amount of time, effort and money previously spent by investors to search for service providers Allowing investors to track the financial performance of their past investments which they used to do in the past with the help of an excel spreadsheet. Decreases the complexity of tracking the financial performances of investors’ properties. Client Unregistered Users

Quality Management Strategy: Defect Prevention
Priority Level Description Buying Information High Team Identify key risk areas through prototyping, allow better resource managements. Following good coding standard Personal, Team Good practices help reduce number of bugs introduced Version control Version tracking allows work to be merged more easily Peer Review Medium Team review helps coders catch errors before committing them to the codebase Team Meetings Weekly meetings can help prioritize and mitigate risk

Quality Management Strategy: Defect Detection
Automated Testing: Unit test the individual modules before system wide integration. Integration tests validate modules still work after integration Code linting: Run a program that analyzes code for potential errors Checks for adherence to coding standards or conventions UI/UX Testing: Test for functionality & performance of user interface Code Review Help identify additional bugs that automated tests can’t catch

Quality Management Strategy: Defect Tracking
Jira Each defect is created as a new issue with Issue Type “Bug” Quality Focal Point will prioritize defects and assign them accordingly Bi-Weekly Risk and Defect Report: All team members may contribute additional risk items to the report Track progress of identified defects and quality of solutions
