Insurance Management System (IMS) Project
Description
New system needed within a year or so, to handle all aspects of our company’s insurance business. We operate in all 50 states. We handle auto insurance and home insurance, and offer discounts if you use us for both together. We do not do life insurance: apparently, everyone dies at some point.
The system must do at least the following:
Claim recording
Claim tracking
Claim payments (reluctantly)
Customer tracking
Premium tracking
Sales
Agency management
Methodology
We have heard a lot about this “Scrum” thing, and a consultant has told us that this project would be a great one for this technique. You will be the PM and the Scrum Master for this project. Go ahead and organize things the way you want – we are interested in the outcome so we will not stand in the way of any reasonable request for resources and time.
General Assignment Notes
You will be expected to do some research here into the nature of Insurance companies and what they do, but you are not expected to become an expert in software of that type. You should be able to identify with and perhaps enhance the list above, but that is primarily to give you a fertile field for picking User Stories for the project. I am more interested in how you communicate your thinking, both to me, to your fictional team, and to the senior organization people that need convincing that Agile is viable.
Remember the marking standards! If you do exactly what the assignment asks for, you will get a good solid B+ (85%). To get an A, you must exceed expectations without going beyond the assignment boundaries – for example, if you include a detailed project schedule with the first assignment, you will probably lose points!
Below is the general assignment breakdown – each week will contain details on the specific assignment. All weeks will be open, so you are welcome to “look ahead” to see what the upcoming assignment will be about.
