Challenge Overview
Welcome to the OPM - Change Order Templates - Content Creation contest! In this contest, you will need to create document templates for business rule change orders.
Project Overview:
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has an existing legacy application called the Service Credit Redeposit/Deposit System (SCRD). The mission of the Service Credit Redeposit/Deposit System (SCRD) is to compute deposits and redeposits, create an initial bill, post payments, and send out receipts to federal employees for periods of federal employment service that were either not covered by retirement deductions (deposits), or were covered and later refunded by the federal government (redeposits).
The new SCRD web application will include a a business rules engine that can be used to easily create, edit and maintain rules. These business rules are based on federal policies/codes/regulations. The Retirement Services Job Aid references federal policies/codes/regulations and will give you a good idea of what type of details are required to be captured.
Contest Requirements:
As part of the new SCRD application, the OPM team will be following a change-order based management for business rule changes. In this contest, we need you to create change order document templates for business rule change orders.
