Continuing my previous posts, I come to the easiest solution possible. Using project control program like do.com or teambox.com. Using such tools, project can be tracked easily and additional task can wait if the load is too high.

As I have been working for a year and a month (I am really a new employee) I look on some problems in my workplace. In Omeoo, projects come and go. But often the projects come and go too fast, so that while you are doing something, there will be some additional tasks coming and you have to finish it at the same time. We could call the problem as lack of managerial.

We know as developers there are software development life cycle. We work in documented ways and written list of requirements. Tasks that we do is based on project schedule and timeline. And also we are not the one that make the timeline. It was project manager’s task to do it.

In Omeoo, the project manager is not so clear who. That makes the timeline working is delegated to the programmers. Because this unclear situation, often client servicing do not know what are their programmers currently doing. So when they receive new request from the client, it is not their fault to create new tasks and give it to programmers, since they don’t really know what the programmers currently doing, their current workload, and if their tasks before have finished or not.

By looking at this, we could see that it was a mess. That’s why we need something as solution of this problem. So that everything can be sure and projects requirements can be fulfilled.

As I have said Omeoo Media is working as digital agency which focuses on web, SEO, articles, and social media. This post will describe how things work in Omeoo.

In Omeoo, we will try to get the client attention and contract. After we have the contract as agreed by both, us and the client, the requirement will be listed by client servicing.

After the requirement is listed, it will be given to the working team, designers, programmers, social media, content writer, and SEO optimizer. Every division have their own job description and task. Every division will create their own timeline and schedule their tasks in order to finish the requirements on the list in the given time. Because I work as developer, I will focus on programmer division.

Programmers will then breakdown the tasks and put it into timeline. Working with designer, programmer will create the web based on mock up design. The logic will be created based on the mock up design, too. Revisions and additional design changes are made throughout the development process.

After the development process is done, testing is conducted. Because there is no division specialized in testing, customer servicing division conduct the testing. The result of testing then will be shared between developers and customer servicing. Using the result, programmers will do the bug fixing.

After bug fixing is done, then the client will need to approve the web that has been made. After the web has been approved, then maintenance will be done.

You can see the rich picture below.

I work in Omeoo Media as a web developer. I work on both ASP.NET and PHP. Projects nowadays are using PHP as you have seen in my recent posts here.

Omeoo Media focuses on digital media like web, SEO, articles, and also social media. Our clients are companies that wanted their products or company advertised. One example is Heinz ABC Indonesia along with their SEO. Another example is Frozz, a mint candy like Tic-Tac, along with their social media.

In Omeoo, we had projects come and go, either from client or products that we made. So you could say there will a task to do. Omeoo itself has been existed for four years.

Hi, so I have this task from my univ to identify the problem in my workplace and create a way in shape of tool or software to solve the problem. Here in the following category, Binus – KSI, the problem will be described and solved. Feel free to look on it!

 

PS. Some bit of it will be described in Bahasa Indonesia, so I hope it wont be any problem on it.
