The brief
West Midlands Trains needed a door to door Journey Planner web application, with the following features:
- Multi-Modal journey planning capability, including rail, bus, tram, walking, and ferry
- Multi-leg, rail centric journey planning
- In journey support and live disruption notification
- Journey fixing options for delayed legs
- Option to create, save and manage multi-leg trips
- Provide all of the above on both desktop and mobile devices
- Accessible to WCAG 2.1 standards
What we did
After gathering requirements with the client in a series of workshops, we delivered the project using Agile project management principles. We used Jira to organise our backlog of tasks, and held weekly meetings with the client to review and sign off new concepts, and refine the backlog. Work was delivered in a series of bi-weekly sprints.
The result
The MMJP project was delivered on time and on budget. All KPIs for performance, function and accessibility were met. The solution can bee seen here: WMT Journey Planner Web App
