Notes:
The BIT Team has been supporting the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) under a series of tasks since January 2000. The BIT Team is supporting EEOC's Integrated Mission System (IMS) initiative, which will consolidate EEOC's stovepipe information systems into a single enterprise-wide, web-enabled system. The IMS Project for the EEOC has been unique, in that development directions have changed during the course of the project. BIT has continued to provide top-caliber support to this project throughout the system development life cycle. The following describes the work that the BIT Team has successfully accomplished throughout the life of this project:
The government desired the development of a software development life cycle for the EEOC based upon the Chief Counsel Information Engineering Life Cycle Model. This was a six-stage model with clearly defined tasks for each stage, and responsibilities, deliverables, and notes for each task. This model is under review and a draft model for EEOC will be provided to the Government for review and comment. This draft model is expected to evolve over the life cycle of IMS, but would produce the framework and formal discipline necessary for all system development efforts for EEOC.
The BIT Team instituted several mechanisms promoting intergroup coordination and communication. Weekly meetings with team personnel ensure all members are aware of tasks, current status and upcoming deliverables. Weekly and monthly status reports provide progress updates, deliverable status, and notable problem areas to the government and BIT I&ET Program Management. Through organization of and attendance in meetings with key stakeholders, the requirements analysis and prototype design effort remained focused on schedule and resource constraints which are critical to meeting project objectives.
Established and managed the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) integrated lab environment designed for supporting the Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) of the integrated application systems releases; provided coordination for the implementation of the SEI's CMM Level 2 practices on the SQA functions; and developed and maintained the SQA web page.
