DrillDown Movie
DrillDown is a budget-management application that two TenFold staff plus two Chugach Electric staff - an IT professional and a business person both without TenFold experience - designed, built, tested, and demonstrated within Chugach in ten working days. The team started on Monday morning, demonstrated DrillDown to a stakeholder group the next Monday, captured improvement ideas, and on Friday of week two demonstrated the finished DrillDown application as you see it in the movie.
Chugach was thrilled with DrillDown and felt that it met all their requirements, even though they had no design or requirements document and their ideas changed after the first demonstration. Chugach originally estimated two people one year to do requirements, figure out interfaces, and program DrillDown using traditional software development methods. But, the four-person team did it 25 times faster - in two weeks.
DrillDown lets a cost center manager sign-on and look at budget data for any time period and cost center, along side actual expenses. With button clicks the manager can drill down to see the exact detail of any actual expense. DrillDown automatically integrates data from Chugach's PeopleSoft General Ledger, Indus Utility Systems, and a Chugach-built budgeting system.
