Responsibility for overseeing high level implementation

Indigina (Mark with Sergey)

• microservices scope

• database types (SQL, NoSQL eg. CosmosDB)

• communication of ideas and decisions through agile process with Sergey V and Mark B speaking regularly

Concerns

Concerns about the number of projects running concurrently (outside of Suez) and amount of time available

• Back end team may need to be expanded

• QA team required

•  Will there be enough overview on an ongoing basis once the project is in full swing?

Responsibility for database meta schema

iTransition

iTransition team tasks in the early stages

• Read documentation from Steven Bennett regarding product functionality and scope of project

• Getting toolkits and work spaces set up

• Concentrate on getting one microservice correctly written end to end to serve as a reference for future

  • UI

  • Back end

  • CI/CD

  • Deployment

Back End

• CI/CD skeleton microservice – setting up organisation – user iterate it

• What level of overview is appropriate for user stories

Action Points

• Adam Marriott (Unlicensed)Mark Blair (Unlicensed) ensure user stories are to an acceptable level and include all that is required for front end and back end. Document findings as necessary.

• Adam Marriott (Unlicensed)James Seabrook Communication to the business about potential slowdown because of new paradigm and new way of working. There may be a few iterations to get it right

• Mark Blair (Unlicensed)James Seabrook Generate high-level stories for initial stages of the project, eg. architecture, setup. (“Sprint zero”)
• Mark Blair (Unlicensed) Ensure iTransition have appropriate knowledge and agreed standards for design and implementation
