The application features record versioning and a multi-tiered administration model allowing ‘editors’ to make changes and ‘publishers’ to approve changes. A thorough requirements gathering phase preceded development.
I developed a production plan in conjunction with regional executives that encouraged rapid application development while easily accepting ongoing changes. This was accomplished by using a real-time development model where developers would continually update a live test server that notified designated testers who could then provide direct feedback from specific screens. The feedback was screened by managing executives before being passed to the development team.
My development contribution was focused on the user interface. I adapted the application’s functionality directly to the requirements of the executive team, making it easy to enter data and build reports in a variety of formats.
The application was built with JSP and Java with some JavaScript and Flash for UI elements and the data is stored in an Oracle database.
