Fostering adaptability to a uniform approach in project development and execution National Informatics Centre (NIC), being the digital arm of the Government of India, has been immensely involved in the preparation of proposal, design, development, execution and maintenance/ support of various projects for the Central Government, State Government and District Administration. Taking into account the increasing need of the user departments, ever growing data usage and issues being faced during maintenance phase, a need was observed to introduce a uniform project execution approach for NIC. In this backdrop, an interactive workshop on “Software Project Execution Approach for NIC”, focussing on the necessity of adapting to a standardized approach for the preparation and execution of project proposals, was successfully organized by the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of NIC at the Headquarters in Delhi on 20th & 27th April and 04th May 2019. The workshop was attended by all the HoDs posted at NIC HQ. The participants were mainly apprised of the importance of various aspects like GudApps Guidelines, Software Deployment Architecture, Performance Evaluation, Quality Assurance, Roles and Responsibilities of Various Stakeholders, Terms of Use etc., that need to be taken into consideration while preparing a project proposal. They were also assigned with a group activity to present a project of their choice, in accordance with the facts discussed during various sessions of the workshop.
