A Secure Web-based Result Computation and Transcript Processing System for Federal Polytechnic Ukana (Published)
In this era of digital transformation, educational establishments must manage student records effectively while maintaining data security. This work describes how Federal Polytechnic Ukanadeveloped a safe, web-based transcript and results computation system by utilizing Agile methodology, which improved responsiveness and flexibility throughout the project. Iterative development, which allowed for constant feedback and quick adjustments to requirements that changed, was made possible by the Agile methodology. Ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility, the system is designed to make managing academic records easier. It has an intuitive interface for both administrators and students withrole-based access control, secure authentication procedures, and data encryption to stop illegal access and data breaches are important parts of the system. The system’s design, implementation, and potential advantages in terms of improved data security and operational efficiency are all covered in this paper. The system’s successful implementation at Federal Polytechnic Ukana indicates that it can be scaled up to meet the needs of educational institutions looking to enhance their result management procedures.

Exploring Agile Methodology in Developing a Web-Based Result Computation and Transcript System: A Case Study of Federal Polytechnic Ukana (Published)
In today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, there is a great demand for efficient, adaptable, and responsive software development methodologies. This article examines how agile methodology was used in practice to create a web-based transcript and result computation system for Polytechnic Ukana. Agile methodology, which is renowned for its incremental and iterative approach, was used to increase flexibility, foster better teamwork, and produce a workable product on schedule. The article describes the goals and requirements of the project, including how Scrum was chosen as the agile framework and what stages it went through in implementation. Along with the roles and responsibilities of the development team, the planning, execution, and review processes for sprints are highlighted. The team demonstrated flexibility in responding to evolving needs, effective problem-solving, and sustained stakeholder engagement through a sequence of sprint cycles. The system was deployed on schedule, fulfilling all requirements and substantially boosting the accuracy and efficiency of the institution’s transcript generation and result computation. This is proof that the project was successful. This case study provides a useful manual for implementing agile approaches for comparable educational software development projects.
