  1. Team presentation • Caroline, Fabrice and Michele • 20th January 2009

  2. High level of itinerary before project • France • Unbranded text document included within the body of an e-mail • Amadeus itinerary created using IEP command • Negative customer feedback received regarding layout and design: hard to pick out items within the document • GCO compliance text not included within itinerary • Netherlands • Multiple itinerary generation processes with different layouts • Itineraries do not include GCO mandatory compliance information • Itineraries are sent via URL link to ViewTrip for getting e-tix information • All documents are unbranded • UK • Different itinerary products were used – Virtually There and My Travel Plans • No standard compliance text • American Express branding not on 80% + of the itineraries

  4. How we worked as a team • Although we were all working on our own market itineraries they all linked to a • common goal – ‘To deliver a standard itinerary across EMEA’. • We shared knowledge and discussed various topics as a team. Some examples of • these are below: • Discussed standard compliance information • Compared segment information and how it displays on itinerary • Discussed best practice for UAT testing • Provided moral support!! • We recognise we have transferable knowledge – e.g.. Fabrice was going to take over the project for Netherlands (Michele’s market)

  5. Key learnings • Progress project at full team level e.g.. share requirements earlier as we did end up with a standard across the GDS’s • Quicker involvement of Solutions Management e.g.. for GDS links with external solution and segment review • Segment review – add to market requirements – don’t assume that: • They have already been provided • Because a supplier works with the GDS they know all about segments • Align special market requests across the other markets before signing of the requirements document (PDF, email body text , calendar integration, SMS , Blackberry etc ) as an actual need for one market could be an added value for another market as well . • Engagement of correct resource for project e.g.. who is responsible for UAT? This fell into our team
