This semester, teams were asked to work on the same project, a business rules managements system or BRMS. They formed teams and then selected one collective bargaining agreement (CBA) to implement, either Sam Adams or Pacific Power and Light (PPL).

At a high level, the teams were responsible for the following user stories:

  • As an HR manager or legal team member, I need to implement rules to constrain scheduling resources for work. These constraints shall follow the CBA.
  • As a team manager, I want to schedule resources for multiple shifts so I can keep production or services running.

The teams were directed to work on an entire solution. We found the scope too broad, though. Second semester the teams selected a part of the solution and negotiated with other teams to complete a full solution. One team, Team Cooper, elected to complete the entire project. In other cases, UShift (Team Henderson) and Team Braun elected to work closely and, finally, Teams Boothe, Deng, and Cao collaborated.
