The broad scope of the MIS was derived through in-house
consultations and deliberations. The outputs were translated
to functional blocks. Each block was then subjected to detailed
discussions, surveying, prototyping and verification, using
stakeholder samples. The implementation of the modules was
driven based on ground realities and software development
principles.
The limitations observed in original version of the MIS, coupled with
inputs from stakeholders samples formed the basis of defining the
end objectives of the MIS – a development platform that can be
easily mastered; a database design that supports high speed data
capture and fast reporting; a functionality based modular design
that is attuned to easy customization and a simple intuitive user
interface that will result in minimum start-up time for a novice user.
The development strategy was driven by progress of RAY activities
by various teams on the ground and the development team had to
follow the Scrum process.
The final operational management information system provided
user access at multiple levels – super user, state-level user, city
level user. At each level, access is further grouped into view-only
and updateable. The MIS supported detailed activity tracking at
cluster level. It supports timeline reports and activity reports.
Three different survey formats – NBO, Kudumbashree and
NBO+Kudumbashree were supported, with provision for quality
checking and threshold based acceptance criteria. The MIS had to
‘Lock’ data once quality checking was done preventing tampering.
Many reports were generated online, including single and two-
variable analysis of the socio-economic survey data.
