Marketing Intelligence – Mission Impossible !!!

The first major project of my career was full of complexities and excitement. There was no proper SRS (Software Requirement Specification), HLD (High Level Design) or LLD (Low Level Design). I am talking about this as theoretically I was expecting all these documents before starting any project. We got some information in bits and pieces through mail and through conference calls with our onsite co-coordinator. Within few days we got to know about the technology which we were supposed to use for the implementation of the project.

Technology

J2EE, Struts Framework, Oracle, Interwoven TeamSite.

All of these technologies were new to me and I was sure that it’s going to be a great learning experience to me. Let me introduce the team members now.
