The Case Study Part A
\nThe medical device company has a regulatory requirement to implement enhanced authentication to all its software. The user must provide their login credentials to access the system and if the user forgets the credentials, there has to be a way to securely retrieve the information. The user does not want to have to authenticate themselves every time they access another part of the system when they are already logged into one part of the system. The technology is web-based and the entire process should not require the user to call technical support. By providing efficient logon mechanisms, doctors are able to access the system easily and with less effort leading to a more positive user experience.
\nThe company must also adhere to the regulatory requirement that requires the technology to log the time, date and details of every user’s access. Although the company conforms to this regulation, the policies were recently updated and the company has a 3 month grace period before the regulatory bodies enforce the new requirements. The new regulations require the company to log location and device in addition to the time, date and details of the user’s account.
\nThe developer on the agile team is excited about implementing a biometrics authentication feature to solve the stated policy requirements. Although, there is merit in the developer’s suggestion, this implementation is complicated and lengthy and may not be completed within the stipulated regulatory timeframe. The team has not yet decided if they will implement the biometric idea. As the Agile Business Analyst, you need to perform stakeholder analysis, prioritization and decomposition of requirements into user stories and decide which of the stories will be included in iteration or sprint 1. You may decide to break the biometric feature into one or more user stories and only include this feature in your first sprint or iteration.
\nThe users of this software include doctors, medical office assistants, and receptionists.
\nThe doctors are not technically savvy and are introverted in nature. They believe in speed and get paid by the number of patients they meet. The age of a doctor ranges from 40-55 years and they are specialists with extensive experience. The doctors are excited about this change and are the sponsor for this initiative.
\nThe medical office assistants are somewhat more technically savvy than the doctors. They perform administrative tasks for the doctor. For example, receiving and sending out medical samples for investigation. They are detail oriented and want to get things done right as opposed to quick. the average age of receptionists is 25-35. The medical office assistants are not looking forward to this change because it adds to their workload and can introduce errors in their existing workflow. Additionally, because they are so detail oriented they often take longer to accomplish a task and therefore they do not have time for training.
\nThe receptionists are the front end staff responsible for attending to phone calls and patient check-ins who arrive at the clinic. The receptionists are extroverted in nature. Their average age group is 18-25 years. The receptionists are neutral on the implementation of the new features but have high influence on how this feature is designed. This is because they’ve been working in the field for many years and have earned the trust of the doctors.<\/p>\n
The Case Study Part B
\nThe medical device company went ahead and implemented both the features in the first iteration cycle. In their initial iteration, they did not track progress through reports. Additionally, the medical device company decided to implement the biometric authentication feature whose implementation took over 3.5 months. Due to the complexity of this feature, the medical device company was unable to meet the grace period provided by the regulatory board. The doctors are dissatisfied with the slowness of this company.<\/p>\n
