Current
Limitations
The limitations for the current system are due to the fact that thereˇ¦s no formal system for tracking project requirements, notes and issues. Instead MS applications and paper-based methods are used by the developers to manage their work. This also implies the inability to notify all designated parties of an issueˇ¦s status change efficiently. Augen is experiencing significant growth. More work being done means more efficient management is required. This makes the weaknesses of the system more apparent at times. The followings are some of the major limitations:
No standard
capture of information i.e. different users have different methods for
tracking and collecting information.
No central
information repository. There is no database for all project information.
Users share information by storing information into the shared directory.
Inefficiency in
updating reports to clients. It is time consuming to author documents for
periodic status reports.
No reporting
facility i.e. summaries or reports on projects need to be done manually.
Items
discussed/agreed in telephone conversations, meetings arenˇ¦t always
documented.
Accuracy of information
relies on developersˇ¦ discipline i.e. no formal system means it relies on
developers to capture and store information.
