Operational Maintenance Stage

The Team will be expected to maintain, enhance and protect the system. In maintaining the system, the mentee will fix more bugs that have not been found in the development of the system and the run time errors. The mentee will also enhance the system when the situation calls for it, such as the required alterations to adapt to the changing environment and individual user. The mentee are expected to protect the system through security modules and improve the functionalities until an error-free system is achieved.

WEEK 5- DESIGNING CUSTOMER EVALUATION

The mentee will conduct a post implementation review to validate the completion of project objectives and assess project management activities such as survey or interview of all personnel actively involved in the operational use of the Faculty Ranking System to get the feedback for further improvement of the system.  If the client will be satisfied with the result it will proceed to the deployment of the system but if not, it will then be modified to ensure the efficiency of the program and to further enhance depending on the client’s needs.

SETTING UP THE ENVIRONMENT.

SETTING UP THE ENVIRONMENT. You need workstations, development tools, a work area for the team. You don't need access to all of these resources right away, although at the start of the project you will need most of them.

WEEK 4. Starting to build the team

WEEK 4. Starting to build the team. Although the trainee will evolve over time, at the beginning of a development project you will need to start identifying key team members and start bringing them onto the team.

Modeling an initial architecture for the system. Early in the project you need to have at least a general idea of how you're going to build the system. The developers on the project will get together in a room, often around a whiteboard, discuss and then sketch out a potential architecture for the system. This architecture will likely evolve over time, it will not be very detailed yet (it just needs to be good enough for now), and very little documentation (if any) needs to be written. The goal is to identify an architectural strategy, not write mounds of documentation. You will work through the design details later during development cycles in model storming sessions and via TDD.

The Concept Phase: PRE-PROJECT PLANNING

The Concept Phase, sometimes called Iteration -1, is the pre-project aspects of portfolio management. During this phase you will:

Define the business opportunity

Identify a viable for the project

Assess the feasibility

In this phase the mentee has the goal to determine the problem to fix in the current manual system of the HRD.  At first, the trainee had an interview with the Human Resource Manager to have an idea about the operations in HRO are being done.  Some documents necessary for the project are given to the trainee for further understanding. Based on the interview and documents, the trainee looked for an applicable solution and visits the HRM to assure if the proposed solution is applicable for the actual need

Inception/Warm Up: PROJECT INITIATION

The first week or so of an agile project is often referred to as "Iteration 0" (or "Cycle 0") or in The Eclipse Way the "Warm Up" iteration. The trainee’s goal during this period is to initiate the project by:

            Garnering initial support and funding for the project. This may have been already achieved via your portfolio management efforts, but realistically at some point somebody is going to ask what we are going to get, how much is it going to cost, and how long is it going to take. You need to be able to provide reasonable, although potentially evolving, answers to these questions if you're going to get permission to work on the project. You may need to justify your project via a feasibility project.

WEEK 3 - The Process

WEEK 3 - During the duty hours, the Head of Office assigned the Mentee a very delicate assignment which is designing, adopting and implementing the process. The Mentee have suggested to align their task in the System Development Life Cycle AGILE METHOLOGIES. Which they have agreed.

Week 2: The Company Endorsement

Selecting the RIGHT PATH

 

There are many options for my industry immersion is either apply to outsourcing company Peco, Teletech Information Technology Department, West Visayas State University in the  region. I could request for their existing data, do some data analytics, and come up with some meaningful interpretations that could reveal something new or useful for them.

So in preparation for the most academically challenging phase of my life I am now in the process of promising to minimize my academic duties in my home school and close all my remaining external projects.

I have choose the outsourcing solution of PECO, at First, the Information Technology Manager, Mr. John B. Tadifa have introduced me to his I.T. Staff, this include, the System Administrator, the Network Administrator, Programmer and the Computer Technician.

WEEK 1 – THE JUMP-UP START (ORIENTATION)

Week 1 of the Immersion As guided by our study plan, I enrolled in DITCC 106 - Industry Immersion course this summer term of 2018. Our professor in this summer course is no other than our supportive dean, Dr. Ruji P. Medina. The enrollment process went smoothly for the staffs of TIP were very helpful and competent. Our first day of class were all about orientation on DITCC 106 - Industry Immersion course. Our professor, Dr. Ruji P. Medina, laid out the following course objectives that he expected for us to achieve:

Dr. Medina conducted an orientation among Doctor of Information Technology and Doctor of Engineering students regarding the requirements for the Immersion Course and the expected deliverables, and one of those is of course is this blog. Apply and appreciate the relevance of classroom learning to the actual work setting; Compare his current work settings with other industries; Learn and adopt from industries best practices that produce outcomes; Imbibe knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to be effective practitioners and consultants; Produce a quality research paper Dr. Ruji P. Medina, Dean of Graduate Programs, conducted an orientation meeting on DITCC 106 - Industry Immersion course. By the end of our summer term, the list below are the following deliverables that we must submit in order to pass the course. Mentorship Blueprint Weekly Blog Immersion Portfolio Research Compendium Dean Medina encouraged us to go out of our comfort zone and seek companies that could offer industry experience that is most relevant to our intended dissertation paper, even if it meant living away from home for a whole month. I will be pondering about this recommendation as soon as I fly back home to Iloilo City.

 Dr. Medina emphasized that industry immersion is a vital and indispensable component of graduate education. Through this, the student will be able to obtain experiential learning. Furthermore he pointed out that through immersion the student will be able to gain valuable exposure on the latest technologies and processes used in actual industry that will serve to validate the theoretical perspectives learned in school. He encouraged students to look for a bigger company with excellent IT Infrastructure in order to have a meaningful experience and relevant application of the skills learned in school. He also advised the students to be innovative and contribute also to the company by conducting research and apply those in the actual work setting and introduce new concepts that can be used by the company.
