Project Info: At the time of my hire, BlueSpark was engaged in a 2 million dollar project to produce all 19 of Rogers Radio Web sites across Canada. The sites are of 4 main template types and are deployed on Eprise content management system, Java servlets and JSP code base, Web Logic App Server, iPlanet Web Server, Oracle Database on Sun Solaris Unix. 680 News was the first news site to be created and was the most complex of the site types, involving automatic XML news feeds from third parties and many smaller application, and complex content management and functionality integration.
Contribution Detail: My role on the Rogers Radio project was Project Manager and Information Architect for the 680 News Web site requirements and specifications phase. I began by conducting multiple JAD sessions with the Rogers staff. I then coordinated with Rogers staff, 680 News staff and the various software vendors to understand the business processes and detail the project requirements. I then created the information architecture and the requirements and specifications document for the public Web site and secure site administration areas. The final build, test and launch of the site was then managed by BlueSpark's Director of Development, who was the overall lead for the multiple simultaneous site production phases.
