2 Overview Inception Phase Key Goals Inception Reporting Requirements

3 Key Goals Purpose of Inception Phase: Get clarity on the detailed work plan (internally, with fc team, with city counterparts etc.) Detailed Work Plan of the 10 months grant cycle Hit the ground running for Development Phase Road map for development, deployment& commercial success

4 Are you ready? Questions to ask yourself: Is your team complete? Have you thought about obstacles/time constraints? Are you in contact with your test city? Do you have enough test subjects to be relevant? Is your test site ready? Do you dedicate enough time to the commercial phase/work? Do you have all permits/authorizations in place?

5 Inception Report Preparation of Inception Report: Collection of Test Site Data Actions regarding test users/test site arrangements Budget planning Planning of App Development Phase Approach to Deployment Commercialisation Strategy Communication with Cities Reviewing deliverables (what, when)

6 Prepare your Inception Report Keep in mind: Collect necessary data while you plan Keep realistic targets Account for possible set backs

7 Inception Reportin Requirements INCEPTON REPORTING WHAT s REQUIRED: 1. Technical Requirements 2. Market Update Requirements DEADLINE: 31 AUGUST 2015

8 Inception Reporting - Technical List of Items in the Action Plan : Key Goals and Targets Obstacles and Challenges Timing Testing Reporting

9 Key Goals and Targets Development planning is the most important management exercise in the grant cycle. On-time delivery of the proposed solution Identify unforeseen issues (e.g. incompatibilities, missing functionalities, etc.) Avoid cost overruns Ensure adequate resources are allocated Risks and their contingencies are considered Start by clearly articulating the goals/targets of the development cycle. Goals must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timed)

10 Key Goals and Targets (ctd.) Achieving your goals. How about a framework that fits your team s style? Waterfall model sequential design process approach. Spiral model risk driven model which focuses on the uniqueness of each development project Iterative and Incremental model Incremental development and testing until a complete solution is realised. Unified Modelling Language supports model-driven architecture through specification of platform-independent models, and the compilation of the platform-independent models into platform-specific models Others? (e.g. Prototyping, rapid application development, code and fix, Extreme Programming, Chaos model, Slow programming, etc.) A combination or grouping of frameworks? Agile->Scrum uses several models in conjunction

11 Grantee Development Plan (Technical) RAG 1.Key Development Goals or Milestones Web application (WA) Coupon and POI management (CMS) and coordination (WMC) Policy statistical (PSS) Policy Making (PMS) Mobile application (MA) Complete app based on Official Barcelona City Guide (OBCG) using Sparksee technology Application update service (US) 2. Brief Description of Development Process Initial phase Design the aspects that will configure the work Implementation of the web app Integration of GEs Implementation of SEs Integration of SparsityHub Implementation of the mobile app Recommendation, tracking and rating of routes POI and coupon advisor 4. Timing Key Dates Web application (WA): Month 2 to month person/month Mobile application (MA): Month 2 to month person/month 3. Key Risks and their Mitigation Plans Delayed development: We are experts in App development. We will double the efforts of the team, providing more developers if necessary. A team of the member quits: We have a very engaged team. We have enough knowledge and members in the team to already have a good replacement in-house. Low quality of the Ges: Some of the Ges have a low adoption and software maintenance has been scarce. We will talk with the frontiercities management to find a solution. 5. List of KPIs User rating of POIs and routes User rating of mobile and web app

12 Grantee Development Plan (Technical) RAG 1. Key Development Goals or Milestones Inception Report Month 1 Technical design document Month 2 UI Design sketches Month 2 UI final design Month 4 Integration of Fiware enablers (development) Month 4 Visual identity completed Month 5 Prototype ready - Month 6 2. Brief Description of Development Process Agile project management approach. All team members can actively participate to mitigate risks. The risks are evaluated on our impact scale. High or very high items are fully reviewed. 4. Timing Key Dates Inception Report (month 1), Technical design document (month 2), API development completed (month 4), Mapi prototype (month 6), app development report (month 6) Grantee Development Plan 3. Key Risks and their Mitigation Plans Risk (inception): Market Study identifies unforeseen needs. Trigger: Market Study. Impact: High. Likelihood: Low. Mitigation: Integrate tweaks and adjustments to the roadmap. Risks (tech development): Delays on tasks. Trigger: Incorrect estimations on scrum meetings. Likelihood: Medium. Impact: High. Mitigation: Short daily meetings with the team; Software bugs affecting essential functions. Trigger: Test reports. Likelihood: Low. Impact: High. Mitigation: Test on code during development phase, code quality reviews. 5. List of KPIs App launch / load time (performance), number of downloads (acquisition), Churn rate (retention), Time on app, user experience (though in-app ratings), monthly active users, daily active users, ARPU (average revenue per user), LTV (lifetime value).
