| Objectives | Mobile App data server enhancement and existing app refinement. This is an IT project continuing the successful Carbon Tracer app development and initial operations, beyond the original scope of that project, to carry out further improvement and prototyping work. We will use the standard Agile IT development project methodology to implement a set of candidate changes according to evolving customer led view of how to enhance the existing Carbon Tracer app using user feedback which continues to be gathered. The data facilitation piece is the priority and the app enhancement work will be tailored to utilize the remaining budget once the data workstream is satisfactorily completed. Expansion of initial Carbon Tracing App scope to cover external data access and add selected customer requested enhancements. Refinement of existing app as a learning test bed. Facilitate exploitation - make WPD operational data used by existing app(s) available for third party developers. Identify what other data could also be made available and by what means to support other (future) apps. Refine the existing app to improve performance and visibility, and consolidate the position of the app in the Carbon footprint awareness space to better serve those customers already using it and encourage more users to join and use the app. Essentially both elements are confirming WPDs commitment to the app landscape, considered vital for DNO operations. | |
