The Stages
To mitigate risks, the project was split into two sprints. The first implemented Georgia Red Cross's NPSP instance and integrated with Mailchimp for email engagement tracking and the second integrating with iRaiser, enabling donation tracking in NPSP. Dashboards and reports were created to provide insights into key metrics as well as a custom Google alerts app to alert users to relevant news as soon as it happens. The VRP team provided regular updates via email and demo calls, ensuring development matched the client's needs, ensuring refinements were included.
One such refinement was the creation of custom email templates for the Georgia Red Cross that was not in the original scope but emerged as a need. Once both sprints were complete, the VRP team conducted user acceptance testing, ensuring the end-to-end solution functioned properly and met their needs. Due to the ongoing communication process during the implementation sprints, no major revisions were needed, ensuring the Georgia Red Cross Society could take advantage of their new solution as planned.
