Project

Direct Deposit Rollout for Scholarship Disbursements

One of the best experiences we had was for development of Government Direct Deposit Portal for scholarships rollout for provincial students, both pre-&post-matric. This entire project was delivered using Agile Methodologies whereby the entire release was distributed into 12 Sprints, each of 2 weeks. We had 3 Scrum teams comprising of Product Owner, Scrum Masters, Business Analysts, UI/UX Developers, Software Developers & QA cum Database Administrators collectively as primary team members of these scrum teams. Project Managers, e-Governance SMEs, Domain Cross-Functional Stakeholder Groups, Sr. Government officials, Secretaries to Premier from Education, Science & Technology, Revenue, Finance & General Administration departments, Chief Secretary to Premier as well as Premier and external Banking & Financial Institutions were additional set of stakeholders engaged in this project. The project schedule was set by the province with a years' timeline for GO-Live and scope included complete process automation of scholarships disbursement process demanding total digital transformation from manual to online mode of Direct Beneficiary Transfers. Microsoft Project Plan was used for planning & JIRA was used for tracking project progress. Status reporting was done on a weekly basis using dashboards as well as showcasing efforts & cost burndown on week-on-week basis maintaining transparency of communications. The project was delivered using Microsoft Technologies, viz., ASP.NET MVC, WCF & MS-SQL hosted on Cloud Infrastructure in Government Data Centre. The major challenges faced in this project were Discovery, Business Process Reengineering (BPR), Stakeholder Co-ordination, Payment Gateway (PG) Charges, financial reconciliation as well as securing sensitive citizen & government data along with confidential financial transactions information. Requirements discovery was always a challenge, so, in the first sprint, we engaged our BAs with Product Owner & key stakeholders from each department to identify & compose all epics and document scope for subsequent sprints in each running sprint and get the sign-off from product owner. In subsequent sprints, owing to challenges around common availability of primary stakeholders relevant to specific sprints, we did set up war room pre-scheduled for first day of sprint whereby all sprint specific epics were brainstormed and decomposed into stories & tasks. Since this project was complete transformation from manual to online, BPR was major challenge owing to extravagant set of redundancies, so all common information set across most of the processes were identified in a single go and accordingly, master set of templates were prepared. As numerous transactions were to be triggered from this portal, PG charges per transaction was major overhead to be capped to reduce cost overheads to government on a Year-on-Year (YoY) basis, so we performed extensive market research across all PG providers and identified the cheapest reliable solution provider for PG integration. Considering volume of transactions, we reconciled all transactions in batches & used to batch process the transactions of each day at 03:00 A.M. next day to mitigate reconciliation challenges owing to transaction failures. We secured front end access using multi-factor authentication and confidential citizen/government/transactional data using encryption/decryption algorithms. Thus, we successfully addressed all challenges and rolled out the portal on-time leading to a remittance of $250 million amongst 6.6 million provincial students in its first fiscal year!

We spanned the entire project in proper SDLC project phases spanning a year starting from Discovery, Development, Integration, Show & Tell, UAT, Release Management & GO-Live thereby delivering all major verticals viz., Academics, Student Admissions, HR, Finance & Accounts, Procurement & Inventory Management, Payroll processing & integration, Research & Development (R&D), Events Management along with their individual affiliate lines of operation thereby managing complete integration and delivering the entire ERP solution in one Big-Bang. We co-ordinated well with client PMO & Steering committee teams and inline with their inherent contractual agreements, we managed client subject matter sign-offs at every milestone ensuring all requirements are delivered as agreed upon in discovery phase thereby mitigating any unforeseen scope-creep and protecting our organization from either of the contract-bound penalty clauses restoring organizational faith & confidence in clients’ team at every step finally delivering the ERP solution on custom platform as per agreed upon timelines in delivery contract leading to extreme customer delight!
