8 web Trnsport Status

9 SCOJD Strategic Plan Vision Statement “AASHTOWare will become an industry leader in providing technology solutions for the transportation sector”

10 Web Trnsport Benefit Modern, from scratch web design and development Unified the data model, business rules, security model, and GUI for consistency throughout the entire application Lower Total Cost of Ownership vs. Client/Server through easier deployment, fewer errors upon delivery, lower cost to modify (correct errors and add new features), easier to customize and extend

11 Cost/Benefit -- continued High quality due to better documented design with detailed user stories, test-driven development with over 100K automated tests, extensive manual testing performed following each sprint, and high level of user involvement throughout Established a mature agile development environment with daily builds and application of acceptance tests, cross-trained developers co- located with subject matter experts, and an independent testing team

12 Challenges and lessons learned User challenges (TRTs, etc.) –time commitment, variations in agency needs, seeing incomplete software as it is created TTF and AASHTO challenges –time commitment, contract administration across multiple projects, system standards, licensing Contractor challenges –cost and schedule estimation with magnitude of scope and scope refinements, third party tools, new platform with more environment variables, ongoing daily user input, decisions: existing features vs. improvements
