Contracting Services
Date: 07/2003 - Today
The goal of the Contracting applications is to provide a way to help and enhance the different departments in their daily duties, be it commercial or operational, based on those regulations. The commercial department will use the system to contract or edit services. Operational departments will consult the system to allocate capacity to the respective parties. Other IT systems will retrieve the master data for their daily operations. A bridge to the Billing system is also available. The whole system is based on a workflow mechanism that follows the rules established by the CREG as well as technical operational restrictions are taking into account. The analysis is done through a Fluxys methodology based on UML. The project management is done using the scrum approach. Four releases are foreseen per year and each release consists of 3 sprints. In each sprint some functionalities needs to be delivered. The end of sprint 2 provides a fully operational system that can be tested in various environment by different stake holders. The end of sprint 3 delivers a shippable product that can be set into the production environment.
