RIT News Generator Tool for Departments - Streamlining News Posting Process

This tool helps RIT departments post news on myRIT easily. It automates news item creation and XML feed generation, empowering departments to manage their content. The project involves agile development, team meetings, and requirement gathering using questionnaires and interviews. Design and implementation phase follow, with high and low-level designs, coded in Java, JSP, and JavaScript. Testing includes unit and regression tests. Currently in Release 1, this project has advantages like good team interaction and clear communication with the project sponsor, but faces challenges like resource constraints and coordination with stakeholders. Future releases plan to enhance functionality and complete system debugging, along with training the ITS Help Desk and end users.
