Futures provided an additional EPIC Cogito Consultant to tackle a specific list of high priority items provided by the MFT Cogito leadership. This consult- ant liaised with Analysts and the substantive Cogito team to provide solutions to resolve the backlog tickets, provide proof of testing and use MFT documentation and git processes for implementation in the Production environment.
The requirements
With an ever-changing landscape of reporting require- ments, from national level to internal backlogs, requests for development tend to inflate. These requests are typically triaged and given a priority, but due to require- ments for certifications and a niche skillset, they require a specific set of trained individuals. MFT required additional support to help tackle some of the higher-priority ticket items within a reasonable timeframe.
