Hi All: Hope everyone is well. Here are the highlights for this week:
1. New Risk in terms of missed functionality: the requirement to support dis-enrolling a provider. This has the potential to negatively impact schedule as we look to include this functionality.
2. New issue: To satisfy PT33-NPI requirements there will likely be need to integrate with legacy systems/processes and perform manual processes outside of the system. Complexity risk increased.
3. Large number of upcoming contests in Oct – mid December time-frame will require client time to complete reviews and weigh in on strategic issues.
For more details, see the full report below. If there are any questions, comments or issues, please let us know.
Thanks
Sarah

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.
Update: Andy to show Dan 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) |

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 the required organizational wireframes contests as aggressively as possible, including in parallel where possible, or with very short periods between contests where parallel is not possible. |
