  3. What is EMS Online Directory? • One and only one nationally expandingonline database of Emergency Medical Services. • A central location for your EMS and public safety organizations in yourcounty, state or any region you wish to explore! • A tool for creating printed directories of all available EMS in as big as national or as small as specific county.

  4. Previous Development • Ongoing project of last 2 years by SE Seniors. • Phase 1 (2004-05): Hazmat – Designed, developed and released to staging. • Phase 2 (2005-06): Pinchhitters – Re-designed, improved, existing features, implemented printable format, and released to production.

  5. Goals For This Year • Improve search features • Minimize needed editor intervention for standardization • Automate creation of Printable Format of the directory • Adapt more Organization Types • Prevent multiple registration of organizations. • Move to a permanent server

  6. Agile Development Process • Lightweight model development • Easily adaptable based on priorities • Small iterations, weekly scheduling

  7. Feature Driven Development • We aren’t reinventing the wheel • Sponsors had a full year to assess software • Many of our tasks were defined in terms of features to be added • Features submitted through “feature request” document and assessed based on risk, priority and technical difficulty

  8. Reactive Development (agile process) • Priorities changed weekly • Long-term schedule less structured, based more on higher level goals • Short-term schedule very fluid, reassessed weekly • Our process evolved throughout the quarter

  9. Metrics(Hours per Phase)

  10. Metrics cont.(Hours per task)

  11. Metrics cont.(TCE total containment effectiveness) • Defects-escape to a subsequent phase • Errors-discovered during the phase that created them • Industry standard 65-98% • We were at 87.5%

  12. Testing • Testing occurred for two weeks before deployment. • Sponsors were given test environment to experiment with • Small incremental changes allowed during testing • Test plan developed to address major aspects of system

  13. Lifecycle Environment • Two separate environments • Production • Testing • Features first added to testing environment • Sponsors would review and approve changes • Approved changes were migrated to production on a bi-weekly basis

  14. Architecture

  15. Major Features Added • Duplicate organization prevention • Automated address suffix standardization • Automated data population into printed directory • Last modified search • Survey management • Search result display enhancements

  19. Areas Of Improvement / Challenges • Better feature identification • Feature creep • Source control • Teleconferencing can be challenging • Adapting process to match active system • Sponsors had timeframe they wanted to email all organizations to update information. • System was live-we had to be precise, no room for error
