Process Management
Problem: The City of Minneapolis required an experienced manager to guide their web development teams.
Solution: Twin Cities Solutions provided a web development manager that quickly expanded to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) manager as well. We worked closely with the existing staff to define development goals and responsibilities. We proactively retooled the development team to become more process-oriented, resulting in the definition of a "Solution Development Life Cycle" that defined the entire process from project inception to retirement. Ultimately, responsible for three development teams:

1. ASP Web - Responsible for all web application development at the City of Minneapolis. This included an application to retrieve property related information from the City's Assessor, Inspections, Fire and Police databases and also an online job application system that would upload applications directly into PeopleSoft.
   
2. GIS Web - Responsible for developing a GIS application to allow spatial analysis of data. Examples include allowing the Assessor department to analyze property sales information across the City to assist with the yearly mass assessment of property values and allowing the Inspections department to analyze permit information on a citywide basis.
   
3. Java Web - Responsible for architecting and building a Java (J2EE) application framework to enable the quick creation of web applications. This project reached the prototype phase before funding was redirected to other efforts.
