Overview
Background
This project will manage developments to be made to the Peace Agreements database PA-X (https://www.peaceagreements.org/) for 22/23. The application has been developed over the last 10 years by Apps Dev for the School of Law - Political Settlement Research Programme (PSRP). Every year, PSRP put some budget towards additional improvements. 200 days have been pledged this year.
John Allison has been the primary contact/developer for the work up until now but has taken on a more senior role and has had less time to devote to these improvements. Consequently the work has been delayed and organisation has started to suffer (see JIRA diagrams). As a result, a project wrapper has been added to the development work to support delivery. The day-to-day dev work will now be handled by Callum Fenna-Roberts within John's team.
Scope
- Existing JIRA improvements (see JIRA log)
- Organising incoming additions to JIRA improvements
- Production handover
Out of scope
- Work being carried out by EPCC
- Effort analysis on work outwith project (i.e. to be completed April onwards)
