ABOUT MAXIMO

Maximo became the cash-cow product for IBM after it was acquired MRO Software. The main value proposition of Maximo was a unique home grown UI framework which was tied closely to Maximo's Business Object (MBO) layer ORM layer. Using the framework, a developer could generate boilerplate code for the MBO layer, write UI screens declaratively in XML format, just add business logic and have an industry app ready.
At its helm Maximo was used to power a portfolio of 111 apps across 7 domains.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

The business problem at hand was to provide was an intuitive way of manager Work Orders in a Work Breakdown Structure manner, targeted towards a back-office persona in any industry where Work Orders flows are managed. While the flows are easily built and configured inside Maximo, a visual way of managing different sub parts called "Children Work Orders" was needed which otherwise had to be handled in form based UI.

MY ROLE

I was the UI lead on the Task Scheduler (shown below) app which I built grounds up. I worked very closely with Architects (Designers) and Product Managers in 4 week sprints.
