ISLG Rebuild Timeline

Hello all,

This message is meant to provide you with an update on the proposed timeline for launching the rebuilt ISLG. Here is a Google Doc outline the proposed timeline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IDPv8MDny96vOU2FL55M_NT_O9fk2-e8dNsG8-6qxZQ/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs.

The goal is to release the new ISLG for the IBA Arbitration Day in Montreal on 14-15 March 2019. I am proposing that we launch the new ISLG while maintaining the old ISLG to give users the opportunity to transition to the new platform at their own pace. The transition period will be 6 months. I am optimistic that users will transition quickly to the new platform, because it will represent a significant enhancement to the product offering. However, I believe a transition period is necessary to ensure we do not alienate existing users.

We are scheduling a delayed released of the new legal analytics tools. These tools will require a significant amount of data capture by ISLG's content team, which cannot be performed until the admin site is up and running. As a result, we are scheduling the release of these tools in a separate module in June 2019.

Please review the timeline, and provide your comments as necessary in the document itself or in replies to this message. After we've developed some discussion and finalized the timeline here, we'll schedule a call to kick-off next steps in the project.

Thanks,

Morgan

This looks good to me. It might be good to consider having Anil's team investigate how they'll migrate content sooner because this could impact the admin side requirements. I think ideally, the pdf conversions would be able to maintain the analysis that has been done on the pdfs through the codes you currently use (I think you mentioned that you don't plan to re-do the analysis). Perhaps this has already been investigated.

The only other thing we may want to carve out time for is the UI/visual design that Mel would do and Kev could implement.
Thanks,
Stef

I completely agree. The migration of existing data from the old to new ISLG is a huge issue that we need to address. We also need to consider who we will perform daily reverse migrations back to the old ISLG from the new ISLG to maintain the old ISLG during the 6 month transition period.

Adding the UI/Visual design to the timeline sounds good to me. Please feel free to add this to the Google doc as you see fit.

I reviewed the proposed timeline and definitely this is very aggressive. I do not want to sound apprehensive but if it was just cloning the existing ISLG on a new technology platform then this timeline would work. However, the new ISLG is expected to be 'dramatically different' from existing then it implies that there would be development of new features/functionality. This is not spec'ed yet and once the requirements of such new items are clear then we would also need to factor-in the actual development, testing and UAT time. Put this all together and the proposed timeline; October 2018 to February 2019 (for Beta), means we just have 5 months + the challenges with data migration.

I suggest that we identify all that which need to be part of the Beta and then work backwards on the timeline. Can we all do couple brainstorming sessions on GTM soon?

Here's the recording. I'll be out of the office tomorrow morning but if you send me questions, I will answer you in the afternoon. If you need to talk again, let me know.

Here is the main prototype we did usability testing on:

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the call today.

Devaang

Anil

and

Harsh

, please let us know if you have any questions. Once you've had time to process things, could you please update the timeline document with your (rough) estimates of the development time for the project (along with any other supporting documents). As I mentioned, my board meeting is on Thursday, September 13th, and I will need to provide the board with updates on the project, including a projected completion date. Therefore, let's ensure we have the timeline finalized by end of day on Wednesday.

Thanks,

Hello

Morgan

and

Stefanie

,

We have started reviewing the new prototype and completed Dashboard, Subject Navigator, Article Citator and Jurisprudence Citator. So far we have following questions:

We can see "Action" menu in all tools, please explain purpose of this menu at different places.
In new prototype there is no link for "Filter Full-Text Search" in Subject navigator. We are assuming that it will be there in new prototype. Please clarify.
We are not clear about "Research tools and Resources" section in "Full case analysis page" in "Article Citator" and "Jurisprudence Citator". Please explain.
Please explain about the new tab "Parties" in "Article Citator".
Please explain what will be displayed in "Related Document" tab in "Jurisprudence Citator".

1 & 2: The actions menu contains the following, depending on which item it's associated with: Add to Notepad, Add to Document Comparison, Notify me on this topic, Filter full-text search and expand all. Essentially any action that can be taken on an element will be collapsed into the actions menu.

3: Essentially, any document will now show you all articles cited in that document (article Citator) and all others cases cited (this will take you to the pinpoint reference for where this appears) in that document and all other cases citing that document (this will open a separate document). Feel free to watch the video back - we go over it in that video. Be sure you're viewing it in this version: https://projects.invisionapp.com/share/4PNWB2Y7X9D#/screens/318236526

4: Parties will just be a new piece of data added to that document. Parties are the countries for which this treaty/rule apply.

5: Please be sure you're viewing this prototype when looking at cards. The one from the usability test is old, but essentially we will be putting all of the related dispute documents as links on the cards. https://projects.invisionapp.com/share/4PNWB2Y7X9D#/screens/318259866
