On the 4th of November was our final presentation

It is really hard to believe that the month is coming to an end time really flies. Our day started of with collecting all the documents we have checking the input, while our speakers were rehearsing for the final presentation.

Our Sub team Minh, Camille and me self have chosen our guardian Minh Le to speak for us.

The presentation should have started at 14:00, yet as mentioned before, there is no hurray and Tanzania so we started around 14:15 which is very good.

I need to mention, that when we all first met in Dar Es Salaam, while we were having a walk by the sea the ladies have made a commitment to dress in traditional Tanzanian Khanga for the last presentation.

So the day has come to meet our commitment and so we did. The 5 ladies showed up in the tradition outfit for Eastern African Women, a very versatile and colourful cotton cloth… see picture below ;o)

Allow me now to give you a brief introduction on what we have been working on that past 4 weeks.

I did give you an idea about UDOM… A huge project with a very big vision, which I do believe, they could achieve with a lot of faith and A LOT OF TIME….

So what exactly have we been working on fo r the last 4 weeks?

The MIS team, Camille, Minh and Nesrien, (IBMers) together with Iddy and Kiza (UDOM programmers) , as well as Gilbert and Ally (tutorial assistance – TA) have been working on creating a pilot plan for MIS (Management Information System) development, which is the first step in the direction of creating a sufficient ICT Hub.

Where UDOM wants to be:
1. Have a modern UDOM MIS
2. Have UDOM as a ICT Hub
3. Have active engagement with primary and secondary schools

How to get there from our perspective:
Have a modern UDOM MIS
- Narrow the scope to HR MIS
- Propose HR MIS Road Map, a framework for MIS implementation
- Create methodology template for business process analysis
- Provide HR analysis and recommendation
Have UDOM as an ICT Hub
- Train programers and tutorial assistants project management skills
- Provide Rational Unified Portfolio (RUP) Methodology tool
- Provide IBM PM54 Principles of Project Management tool
Have active engagement with primary and secondary schools
- Propose a comprehensive UDOM Enrichment Program: Students Giving Back

Our deliverables:

That was our task and this is what we have been doing.
Now we are looking forward to our relaxing week ahead of us :o)
