For some user/stakeholder Whowants to achive some goal The name of the system Is a type of system Which lets them perform some operation(s). Unlike most compelling alternative This gives them some advantages.

21.
For our client’sbuilding managers Who wants to wants to keep their property in good working conditions The Mobility Workforce Manager Is a work management system for mobile workers Which lets them book and track rutine and incident based work orders.

Who? Tens of Clientssign up for service a few times every year via meetings Around 20 Dispatchers assign worker teams to maintenance tasks all the time via specialized application Several hundred specialized Workers accept tasks and confirm tasks a few times per day via mobile Hundreds of Building Managers order maintenance tasks for their buildings every few days via web

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Need: Someone identifiesa need Trigger: Someone does something with the system The system responds in some way … … The goal has been fulfilled

1. Building manager hasworks that needs done (e.g. change mats) 1. 2. 3. Building manager register works request on web site Dispatcher lists unhandled work orders 1. 4. 5. Alternative: Dispatcher filters, searches and sorts work orders Dispatcher displays work order Dispatcher assign tasks to workers based on skills registered in training system Worker get notified of task on their mobile Worker acknowledges task 6. 7. 1. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Alternative: Periodic trigger Alternative: If worker rejects task, system marks it as unassigned and alerts dispatcher Worker performs task Worker registers the task as done Worker registers time and materials spent on task on mobile System notifies payroll of time spent System submits invoicing data to accounting system Building is in great shape!

Constraints: • • Interact per user •Portability Supported platform

37.
Example: • • • Dispatcher: ____ Buildingmanager: ____ • Worker: ____ Supported platform: Java stack

38.
Example: • • • Dispatcher: Web ordesktop Building manager: Web or any mobile • Worker: Provided mobile Supported platform: Java stack

Example: • • Dispatcher: “HTML5” Building manager:Responsive web • Worker: Android • Supported platform: Java stack

40.
Example: • Dispatcher: Responsive webSPA • Building manager: Responsive web SPA • Worker: Responsive web SPA • Supported platform: Java stack

41.
Frameworks: • What can theteam support • Max one: Project risk or tech risk

42.
Example risky project: •New team • New supplier • New domain • New codebase

43.
Example risky tech: • Newdatabase system • New framework • New programming language

44.
Solo programming

Stories 0. (Mock workorders) 1. Complete list of work orders 2. Simple work order filter 3. Placeholder display work order 4. Placeholder assign task

Example: Dispatch atask 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Faked: Building manager registers a work order Dispatcher “logs into” web admin at http://test.workers.com/admin Dispatcher sees a list of missions (future: sort, filter list) Dispatcher selects a mission Mission will display the type of tasks associated with the mission type Dispatcher clicks a task Application lists all the workers that can be assigned to the task (for now, all workers are listed) Dispatcher selects a worker Dispatcher is returned to mission screen and the worker is listed next to the task
