Functional Specification in creation!

The ARD Sigtas team is working very hard in Istanbul (no we are not here for fun only!) to prepare the functional specification document for the implementation of the registration module in the ARD. Since our Target date for going live on this module is December 2009.. we are pushing very hard to get this document ready for approval by the Steering Committee at their next meeting on 15 September 2009.

We look at every screen to re-design it to the ARD requirements. We add the necessary fields and we remove the ones that would not be applicable for the ARD. Once we are satisfied that each screen contains all the fields that we need, we look at each field to determine its characteristics, for example, is the field compulsory, field length, validation criteria etc.

The first draft of the functional specification document will be presented to ARD management by Ajmal Behzad shortly after 22 August 2009. We are very proud of the progress being made on this first major deliverable of Wave 1 of the ARD Sigtas Project.

We invite anybody that are interested in seeing the outputs and discussing the future impact on the ARD to contact Ajmal for a meeting to discuss.
