There are different
stages like requirements gathering and specification stage, high-level design
and low-level design stage, development, unit testing, integration tests,
system testing and user acceptance testing. Development for each entity should
follow these stages,” explained Mona.
Mona had created
fifty percent of the framework and the foundation work till date.
“There are
four main modules in this project. Application Transit Module, ATM for short,
Business Transit Module BTM, Application and Business Transaction Module ABTM,
Statement Sender Module SSM.
ATM will
receive all the files from different applications within Dochamk Bank. BTM will
receive different files from external business partners of Dochamk Bank. ABTM
will do the transaction handling for these files. And SSM will send these files
to other applications and business partners,” said Mona.
“Read through
all the project documents. From Monday I will start assigning you work. I have
high expectations from you all. We don’t have time for learning. I expect
everyone to put extra hours and work on Saturdays and Sundays if need be. By Monday
you should be up to speed. There won’t be any hand-holding and spoon-feeding. And
you have to be proactive and take the initiative rather than being reactive and
waiting for me to tell you each step what to do. If you can’t perform, just
don’t waste my time and leave the job,” said Mona.
Mona assigned
tasks to the entire team. Every day morning she would call for a status meeting
at 9.00 AM. People were more and more getting scared to attend that meeting.
In the meeting
room, Mona would start asking the status from each person. She would ask how
many tasks were completed and how many tasks were assigned yesterday. Mona
would go in a Round-Robin fashion starting with the person standing on her left
side and ending with the person on the right side. Everybody had to meet their
daily target. If anybody slipped from their daily target number, they would get
a bash and insults from Mona. Mona would tell them to work till late at night
that day and complete the work. They were to call her and update her about the
status before they leave the office at night. Some people even if they had not
completed their assigned work for yesterday, would report their status as
completed for fear of her bashing. It was a horrible numbers game.
It was a
Friday evening, Mona told Vinay to stay in office for a few more hours to help
her edit some report. Ashutosh was sitting nearby. Sana had left early to
receive her parents coming to Bangalore.
Vinay thought
why Ashutosh didn’t leave office yet. Mona rarely spoke with Ashutosh. She
usually didn’t directly assign him any work instead she would indirectly do
that through Vinay and Himesh. Vinay thought it to be strange.
“It’s nine
already. I can drop you at your home in my car. I will drive through that way
only everyday,” said Mona.
“It’s alright.
I will take bus,” said Vinay.
“Oh come on.
It’s nine. I will give you ride,” persuaded Mona.
“Shall I also
come with you Mona?” asked Ashutosh.
“Ok. But I
cannot drop you exactly at your place. I’m going through different route,”
replied Mona.
‘That’s all
right. I will get down at sixth cross. And from there I will take bus,” said
Ashutosh.
They started
out of office.
“Mind dropping
by my house. It’s just around that next turn,” said Mona.
Mona drove her
car inside a large penthouse. She then took them inside her house. It had one
floor and was a huge five bed room house. It had a big hall highly decorated
with expensive decors, a huge LED TV on one wall, a big dining table which can
seat ten people and a modular kitchen.
“You stay
alone here?” asked Vinay.
‘Yes. I worked
in US before for six years for Holtezent and then I came back here. My parents
are in Delhi,” replied Mona.
She served
coffee to everyone.
“I’m well
settled. Money is not a concern anymore. I
