Conclusions – Difficulties in the development projec t

• Defining the roles, participation and the fluent communication between teams have been crucial for the project success.

Communication between different teams involved in the project ( Aquagest, Altran and ESRI )Communication between different teams involved in the project ( Aquagest, Altran and ESRI )

• The project arose high expectations due to a former version and they have been reached with the change of development technology, the user implication and the Aquagest and Altran effort for documentation.

• The project timing and functional scope implied iterative releases. These are not trivial because it was necessary to prepare environments, contingency plans outside office hours and involving the participation of various teams.

• The source code have been managed always by Aquagest and the functionality have been approved in an integration environment held by Aquagest.
