Centraal Orgaan opvang asielzoekers (COA)

• Senior ICT Coordinator myCOA

  • Aug 2015 - Feb 2017

  MyCOA is an agile project created to inform refugees digitally instead of by paper, thereby reducing the amount of paper used (by approx 1m sheets per year) and the amount of contact moments at the receptions of COA locations (of which there are more than 80). As 98% of refugees have smartphones, the system is mobile first. Each refugee centre receives their own version of the system containing a mix of locally offered content as well as centrally supplied content. Automated test scripts were written and user story tests were coordinated regularly with four reference locations and their managers. From the tests, new requirements were drawn up and implemented in an iterative agile / scrum process. Interfacing with the programmers and project manager and drawing up requirements were performed on a daily basis. The system was audited to governmental Webrichtlijnen 2.0 and NCSC ICT-Beveiligingsrichtlijnen voor Webapplicaties standards. Documentation for the whole system was written up for both users and software administrators after delivery. Prior to delivery, workshops were developed and taught to all location managers involving the functionalities as well as content guidelines: all locations needing to keep their own content relevant. As of jan 17, the system is in use in 52 locations with 120 content suppliers. Show less
