Assignment
Background:
A customer project is dependent on specific releases of standardized product libraries and each sub-part of a project is dependent on specific releases of other sub-parts. The interdependency of these components is managed by a Configuration Management (CM) system. For this we use a version control system (git) and dependency management tooling (gradle).
A project engineer has these components in a work environment (standardized file/folder structure) on his local computer. To ensure their work is predictable and consistent, they need to make sure they are using the same releases as all other engineers and that each successive release is built successfully.
On the other hand, lead engineers shall be able to ensure the dependencies between components (upwards to 150 per project) are all set properly after each release.
What’s the issue:
Tooling to monitor and control the status (whether or not correct releases are built and used) of their work environment status is scattered over a number of files and tools. Due to the size and complexity work environments this makes it pretty complex to keep track of the overall picture.
Impact of the issue:
1) Engineers currently spend a considerable amount of time on checking their environment and eventually fixing issues; time they'd rather spend on project engineering.
2) This way of working has recently been introduced. Because engineers currently feel they are not in control, they can lose confidence in the tools, their work and that of their colleagues.
What we are looking for:
We are looking for a (graphical) dashboard where all relevant information can be monitored, and the status of the work environment can be controlled.
Department
You will be joining the department TPM (Technical Product Management) which is (amongst others) responsible for improving engineering processes, tooling and product libraries for project execution (Airports and Parcel systems).
You will be working autonomously on your project but in close contact with your lead engineer (TPM), with CM engineers and other colleagues in our department. Most hours will be spent in office. Working from home will be possible for a portion of your week.
Your responsibilities
Investigate:
Build: A proof-of-concept “Project CM Dashboard”
(use-cases will be provided to you)
Provide a well-founded answer on the questions:
Provide a proof-of-concept solution which (in principle) is usable by project engineers.
