Task and Schedule
The following tasks define the approximate order in which the development of this project will progress. Following the completion of Task 4 and then after each successive task, a meeting will be scheduled with the stakeholders to demonstrate the use of the web application at that time, to gather feedback about the usability and look and feel of the web application, and to gather requirements and comments about the upcoming tasks.
In order to use the proposed component with the existing Market Maker system, there are several scenarios and options to be explored regarding:
- Integrating the proposed component with current system (PHO based system)
- Implementing proposed map services and spatial database
In task 9, we will develop a detailed proposal on possible transition scenarios with budget and project duration. With the developed transition proposal, discussion and decisions should be made for the future transition no later than the end of February 2010 to insure a smooth transition.
