ISSUES and RISKs Summary
Ref # |
Description |
Reported Date |
Action By Date |
Status |
|
i7 |
Issue: Budget is projected to go over 500K due to the necessity of having more assembly contests than was originally projected, as requirements complexity increased recently (e.g. PT33-NPI requirements, dis-enrollment, etc) and known functionality (e.g. Mainframe connectivity requirement, IBM Stack port, etc) has proven to be more complex, and more expensive to build and test. |

r7 |
Risk: Requirements on key areas still outstanding: Mainframe connectivity requirements and MNITS. Confirmation on Netstudy, DMF and PECOS files are also outstanding and may impact the project scope and schedule |

Risk: To satisfy PT33-NPI requirements there will likely be need to integrate with legacy systems/processes as well as perform manual processes outside of the system (e.g. sending letter cancellation requests, consolidation request fulfillment, etc)Action: Topcoder to review and ensure nuances and requirements integrated – risk to the timeline due to complexity |

Risk:IBM License test requires time to conduct test and review results. If the results are not as expected, a new/alternate strategy/discussions may be requiredAction:Expedite testing by using an IBM copilot to set up smart clouds, enabling POC testing on the IBM stack.Update: Issue is still unresolved – alternate strategies will be explored in addition to pursuing smart cloud set-up |

r1 |
Risk: A significant number of new provider organizations have been provided by client in mid-late September timeframe. As a result the time to complete the UI wireframes that included these new organizational types has increased.Action: Run required organizational wireframes contests aggressively, including in parallel where possible, or with very short periods between contests where parallel is not possible. |

Risk: Missed or new requirement to ensure dis-enrollment functionality is present will impact administrative workflow timelines.Action: Topcoder will expedite inclusion of the missed functionality as best possible (consider use of bug race or other methodology to expedite inclusion) |

Issue: Client is experiencing difficulty downloading UI submissions, in particular wireframes due to their size.Action: Topcoder will propose a new methodology to facilitate wireframe viewing |

Issue: Client is concerned that feedback to UI wireframes are not being reflected and client is having trouble tracking which wireframes reflect feedback given by Angie.Action: Topcoder is running short bug races to make wireframe changes and Dan shown how to follow bug races in Cockpit. Topcoder’s James will update the demo box twice weekly with wireframe updates (on a scheduled basis where possible) |

Issue: Death master file access: will not be available. For development purposes, it will be assumed that a file will be uploaded weekly or monthly and a webservice utilized to process the file. A simple screen interface will be created to facilitate the upload. |

Risk: Topcoder is currently experiencing technical difficulties with the software that allows for downloading of judging bundle packages. Action:Topcoder staff are working on getting the issue resovled with highest priority.Update: Judging bundles are now available for download |

Issue: Developers require API access to 3rdsites to check for licensing and other authorization information Update (Aug 16, 2012): MN DHS and CMS (state and federal health agencies respectively) are looking into getting API access.Alternate: Create well-formatted private web pages that allows for screen-scraping, and query with querystring tokens, post, etc |

Issue: Strategy required on IBM stack vs. generic stackResolution: Build two POCs ( “hello world” applications) and implement open source stack version. Client will then prioritize elements to port to the IBM stack |
