This blog is meant to document the progress of the PPDSS project of Muhammad Ikram at ABN AMRO.
A brief introduction to the project:
PPDSS is a software development project I am carrying out next to a Master's thesis that I am doing in parallel at ABN AMRO Bank, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Please refer to my previous post on the topic at my personal blog.
The software will be a decision support tool for decision makers at the Dialogues Incubator of ABN AMRO. Dialogues Incubator is ABN's business/corporate incubator that captures and selects emerging ideas combined with ABN's intellectual assets to further be realized into a real venture.
This software shows the overview of on going ideas in the innovation funnel, as well as each idea's properties such as which milestone it is at the moment, the resources it needs, its scores (what scores and how to score will be the input from my thesis results), ranking relative to other projects, etc.
It is being developed with Flex 3. I am not using any databases at the moment, only an XML file including all projects with their properties. At this stage, this application will only be a working proof of concept. There has been talks to further pursue the implementation of this application into a release after the thesis has been done, but we're not gonna go into that just yet ;)
Last week, Friday, a kick off meeting has taken place at TU Delft as a formal "Go" statement from the University for the thesis. So the project is officially started, although I have started working at the company since mid February. I have developed an initial GUI and the flow of the application. I will post some pics tomorrow.
This blog will probably be a little confusing since I will combine with the entries of the progress of my thesis as well, however this is meant to document the progress of the Decision support system development.
