This project is to provide resources that can be focussed on continuous improvements to ensure that enhancements and small changes can be made to existing systems and processes to have an impact on the student experience.   The work will be driven by the users of our systems, feedback from support and project implementations and technical enhancements.

The over-riding objective will be to deliver solutions to make an impact to the student experience or improve business processes.  This will be achieved by having a partnership with the relevant business area.

This will be delivered in multiple improvements, each Improvement will have its own requirements written by SSP and the business owners. Each improvement will have a BA appointed as well as a Developer ,as required

Where development resource is required, it will be provided by SSP and the wider IS Apps. 

The work package included in this project is yet to be agreed.  Here is a provisional list based on the known demands and requirements. Note: this is not a complete list for this project, and the list is likely to be changed based on the priorities within student systems.   

I1 - Changes to WP calculation- *delivered*

Amend the  WP calculation to reflect the new requirements for 19/20 entry.

I2 - automated deployment for SSP*-delivered (Mar 2019)*

Further implement the automated deployment process using Bamboo for SITS configuration changes, Database script and external resource files (javascript, css, etc.). Deliver a proof of concept that code deployment can be automated to all non live environments.

I3 - Move Bootstrap 2 to Bootstrap 3 for student self-service-*not started*

Student self-services was developed using Bootstrap 2, while most of the other areas in Euclid are now using Bootstrap 3. Some of the areas within the student services had already been moved to Bootstrap 3 last year. This is to move the remaining areas of student self-service using Bootstrap 2 to Bootstrap 3. The benefit is a more consistent user experience for student and also to reduce the maintenance/support overhead and improve the consistency of development standard.
