Final batches of changes

The work in December and January was focused on continued software development and the resolving of bugs. Batch 1.3 of developments was released to the LIVE software end of January and included the changes and additions in the table below. Each change goes through a series of testing rounds for all browsers by Save the Children’s IT department and the nutrition specialists before it is passed. Changes often need redevelopment by the software company to satisfy our needs which can be time-consuming result in rather unpredictable completion dates.

Due to a higher than expected volume of work, the final batch of changes had to be split into two separate batches: 1.4 and 1.5. Work on batch 1.4 commenced in mid January and is expected to take 4-8 weeks until finalised. See below details on batches 1.4 and 1.5. We also defined new stock management tools that will be incorporated with batch 1.5 and include stock out tracker, reasons for stock out, and a consumption and forecast tool to avoid future stock outs at the health facility.

These changes mark the end of software development. Possible warranty issues like bugs that might appear are handled by another team of the software developer and are worked on in parallel.

Translation of supportive materials is also a time consuming process as all documents need to be double-checked by French native speakers that have a background in nutrition and CMAM and needs to be completed once the content is finalised.
