IT Analyst Team for a Data analytics infrastructure Software

IT Analysts as Product Managers: Goals and Responsibilities Project Goal To oversee the successful development and delivery of the Civioniks platform, a web-based application for structural health monitoring. The IT Analysts, acting as Product Managers, will ensure the platform meets the needs of stakeholders by enabling real-time data analysis, visualization, and reporting of structural variables such as applied loads, strain, cracks, tilt, and corrosion. Their role is to align the platform’s functionality with user requirements, deliver value-driven outcomes, and manage cross-functional collaboration effectively. Key Responsibilities 1. Product Vision and Strategy Define the product vision to align with the project’s objectives and stakeholder needs. Develop a product roadmap that outlines major milestones, deliverables, and timelines. Ensure that the platform’s development focuses on user-centric functionality, including visualization tools and actionable reports. Deliverables: Product vision statement. A detailed roadmap with phases for development, testing, and deployment. 2. Stakeholder Engagement Act as the primary liaison between stakeholders and the development team. Gather requirements through meetings, interviews, and workshops with stakeholders. Translate stakeholder feedback into actionable features and prioritize them for development. Deliverables: Stakeholder requirements document. Prioritized feature backlog. 3. Requirement Gathering and Documentation Collaborate with developers, data analysts, and engineers to understand technical and functional needs. Create user stories , workflows, and process diagrams that reflect the platform’s objectives. Define acceptance criteria for each feature. Deliverables: Comprehensive Requirements Specification Document. Use case diagrams and workflows. 4. Backlog Management Maintain a product backlog, ensuring tasks are well-defined, prioritized, and aligned with project goals. Work closely with the team to plan and execute development sprints. Regularly review and refine the backlog based on feedback and progress. Deliverables: Updated and prioritized product backlog. Sprint planning documentation. 5. Cross-Functional Collaboration Coordinate efforts between the UI/UX, backend, and data analytics teams to ensure seamless integration. Organize and facilitate sprint reviews, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups. Address bottlenecks or blockers during development. Deliverables: Collaboration meeting minutes and action items. Progress tracking reports. 6. Product Development Oversight Oversee the development of: Visualization tools for engineering data (e.g., strain, cracks, tilt). Real-time analytics and reporting features . Backend systems for processing and storing sensor data. Ensure deliverables meet agreed-upon acceptance criteria. Deliverables: Functional MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of the platform. Feature-specific tracking and testing reports. 7. User Experience (UX) and Interface Design Collaborate with UI/UX designers to ensure the platform is intuitive and user-friendly. Validate visualizations and dashboards with stakeholders to meet usability standards. Test the platform for accessibility and responsiveness. Deliverables: Wireframes and UI mockups. Feedback reports from usability testing. 8. Testing and Quality Assurance Define success metrics and KPIs for the platform. Oversee system testing to ensure: Accuracy of real-time data. Functionality of visualization and reporting tools. Stability and scalability of the platform. Collaborate with the QA team to address any issues. Deliverables: QA test plans and bug-tracking reports. Final approval for deployment readiness. 9. Deployment and Post-Launch Plan and execute the deployment of the platform in a production environment. Oversee initial user training and documentation handover. Gather post-launch feedback and define future updates or improvements. Deliverables: Deployed platform. Training materials (manuals, video tutorials). Post-launch feedback report and roadmap for subsequent versions.

Patent Research and Documentation for Technological Innovations

Starmass Canada is at the forefront of technology innovation and is preparing to patent five groundbreaking innovations.

The team will focus on gathering relevant data, analyzing existing patents, and ensuring that the documentation meets the necessary legal and technical standards. This project is designed to be completed by a team of learners from a technology or engineering program, allowing them to gain valuable insights into the patenting process and the intricacies of intellectual property management.

Product Manager for An AI-Driven Platform for Structural Health Analysis and Visualization

To develop a computer software application that leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for the visualization and implementation of engineering analysis of structures. The platform will provide actionable insights into structural health by analyzing key variables such as applied loads, strain, cracks, tilt, and corrosion. By combining engineering principles with AI/ML-driven analytics, the tool will empower stakeholders to make real-time, data-driven decisions to ensure the safety and longevity of structures.

Structuring Fund: Innovating Infrastructure and Finance

The STARMASS Infrastructure & Technology Growth Fund (SITGF) project aims to engage MBA students in the strategic design and operationalization of a new growth fund. The project focuses on leveraging the student's financial expertise and strategic thinking to create a robust framework for the fund. The student will work closely with STARMASS’s executive team to understand the intricacies of complex financial instruments such as Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs), Letters of Credit (LCs), and Bank Guarantees (BGs). The goal is to ensure these instruments are effectively integrated into the fund's structure to support its successful launch and operation. The project provides an opportunity for the student to apply classroom knowledge in finance and strategic management to a real-world scenario, enhancing their understanding of fund management and financial structuring.
