The fire-EMS records ART System Demo keeps exposing brittle integrations that teams had not combined until demo week. What quality discipline should the RTE reinforce?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the hose and the hydrant only meet on demo day, of course the connection leaks in front of the chiefs. Frequent integration plus a real System Demo is how the fire-EMS ART finds those leaks while they are still drips. Hiding the demo just guarantees a bigger failure on an actual call.
Full Explanation
Frequent integration plus an honest System Demo surfaces brittle interfaces early while defects are still cheap. When a fire-EMS records ART demo keeps exposing integrations teams had not combined until demo week, the RTE should reinforce integrate-frequently and keep System Demo as a quality checkpoint. Canceling System Demos so brittle interfaces stay hidden from Business Owners protects ego, not residents or crews. Demoing only slideware of the intended CAD-to-records flow until production cutover fakes progress. Batching all integration into a single end-of-year hardening project recreates waterfall risk. Parks reservation handoffs after 'dev complete' are still part of citizen value delivery; map and shrink those waits as DevOps flow work. Exam caveat: partial demos can show progress, but they must not substitute slideware for integrated working system slices. Operational check: require CAD-to-records integration slices in intermediate iterations and fail the demo honestly if the slice does not run. Put the largest post-development wait on the improvement backlog with a named owner. Hold the civic standard in facilitation notes so the next RTE inherits the same expectation for resident-facing outcomes.
