Project Objectives

​

The project's objectives were to develop the digital product (iTRAMs) from MVP as planned with multiple releases. Further training and usage by employees and customers.  

​

iTRAMS: A digital (mobile & web application) product to manage the entire lifecycle of commercial tires. 

 

Outcome

 

The outcome was a mobile and web-based application used by factory employees and customers to manage the day-to-day operational activities. 

​

My Role 

 

My role was as Project Manager. 

​

 

My responsibilities

​

Methodology: Agile
For: Development of digital product.

I work with the project sponsor to develop the requirements we intend to achieve regarding the roadmap, goals, vision, and mission. A product owner was assigned to the project, who consistently worked with the business team to collect the requirements and was responsible for writing epics, features, and user stories. I define the project scope and out-of-scope activities. I identified stakeholders including customers who will be using the product post-launch. I created a team of 6 members for product development and we decided to use Scrum Methodology to develop our products. Further, I developed the budget, created the project schedule plan with the product release plan, and got it approved by the sponsor. I took up the role of scrum master and coached the team on scrum principles and the advantages of it.

 

I created the plan for quality management to be verified as the project was executed. I compiled all the risks that can occur with both qualitative and quantitative risk assessments and created the risk management plan with the risk register. I discussed with all the stakeholders their communication mode and have planned ways to keep them engaged regularly. Further, I assigned resources based on the activities leading to the creation of the plan for resource management. Thus my entire project management plan was ready to be executed. 

​

2 week sprint was finalized and I followed up with daily standups to make sure we were following the scrum methodology. As the project work was in full swing, I worked towards resolving any team conflicts as and when they arose and finding solutions promptly.

I worked constantly with the product owner to make sure the product backlog was prioritized regularly. I make sure any change requests during the project execution from the stakeholders are promptly processed and ready for the next sprint. I was part of the sprint plan meeting and ensured sensible story points were taken up per sprint, which helped us get our velocity on track. With the help of burn-up and burn-down charts, I monitored the work daily to ensure that the work was under scope, time, and within budget, further avoiding any scope creep. I facilitated the sprint retrospectives noted all the issues raised with what went well and implemented the suggestions in further sprints to ensure smooth working.

Methodology: Predictive 
For: For product release and training to employees and customers. 

​

I collaborated with the project sponsor to create the project charter. I regularly visited the manufacturing unit and customers to gather requirements and develop a planned release and training program. I defined the project scope, including out-of-scope activities, and formed an 8-member team to create the work breakdown structure. Additionally, I developed the budget, created the project schedule and product release plan, and obtained sponsor approval.

​

I established a quality management plan to ensure standards were met during execution. I conducted qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, resulting in a comprehensive risk management plan and risk register. I engaged stakeholders in discussions to determine their preferred communication methods and developed a plan to maintain regular engagement. Resource assignments were based on activities, leading to a complete resource management plan, which finalized my project management plan for execution.

​

Upon acquiring the team, we commenced work. As the project progressed, I addressed and resolved team conflicts promptly. Change requests from stakeholders were managed through established change management processes. I monitored daily progress to ensure the project remained within scope, on schedule, and within budget, effectively preventing scope creep.

​

Upon completion of the work, I facilitated the sponsor's acceptance of the deliverables. I then formally closed the project by documenting and conducting a comprehensive lessons-learned review, officially disbanding the project team, and securely archiving all project records.

​

Deliverables

 

The digital product a Mobile & Web application named "iTRAMS" was product-ready and released to customers. Further training was conducted with all the required training materials developed and shared. The firm's employees were trained and used the application to log data regularly.
