Scope of Work

Deliverable Materials

 

 

Below is a list of target deliverables for the SOW. Quality software development is a collaborative effort, and so specific features may change as agreed upon by both parties. To support this, we make change easy by using Agile development methodologies and working in partnership with the Client. Features can be reordered and replaced with other like-effort features, and the project can be ended early if the Client decides they have received enough value to release the software early.

 

A suite of backend software services supporting the features needed for the Royalties Management platform:

oOrchestration Service; issues environmental variables for controlling the release of other services
oAuthority Service; issues JWTs with control definitions for other service instances
oOperator Management & Control Service

Account management
Statutory data requirements (e.g. mailing address, phone number)

An end-user application supporting allowing petrogas company staff to access the services and features listed above to manage their royalty payments in the State of Utah.

Schedule

 

 

The project will be organized into 2-week sprints, with the work to be included in each sprint jointly determined by the Client and the Consultant during each sprint’s Sprint Planning Meeting. The output of each sprint will be a fully functioning piece of software with new features incorporated into it.

 

This schedule is an estimate based on what we feel to be the most efficient resource usage, what you’ve told us about your monthly budget, etc. The schedule can be changed (or the project ended) after any individual 2-week sprint. This could mean the project ends early, or you decide you want to increase your budget to meet new deadlines, or you decrease the budget to divert resources elsewhere.

Note that changing the monthly budget does impact the cost estimate. Our proposals usually sit in the “sweet spot” so you get the most bang for your buck. Increasing or decreasing the estimated spend shown in the SOW is likely to be less efficient overall from a total cost perspective.

 

Project Schedule

The project is estimated to be completed on October 31, 2019 (13 months after work start).
