FlatShape – Open-source Teleworking All-In-One Solution
Software Development From Ground Up
1) Challenge
Requirements included:
- A vendor independent single-solution for teleworking.
- Desktop, Web, and mobile solutions.
- Shall include modern and all needed functionalities to facilitate working remotely.
- All features shall be vendor-free.
- Open-source.
2) Goind forward
The investigation phase kicked-off adhering to the scrum methodology. Through a scum master, product owner, and a senior tech leader all collaborating with a goal of composing the product backlog.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
SThe development kick-off phase started after few sprints with several agreed aspects, as an example:
- Project’s milestones and the priority of the functionalities.
- Technology stack and the specialists(developers) needed for the project.
- Matrix protocol using Synapse.
- Piolet projects for experimentation, for functionalities with high complexity.
- Sircle Application Performance to carry out all the testing activities. Functional testing, UAT, etc
- Developed and assessed the usability of various mockup through usability/user testing activities.
Result & delivery (UTD)
- Achieved all planned milestones.
- Delivered first major release of the solution that includes all priorities functional and non-functional requirements.
- Bypassed all challenges related to team collaboration and workflow.
- Project is still under-development and will be available on Sorint’s public repository shortly after a stable-release is issued.
Well-known Digital Transformation Group
Modernization
1) Challenge
Refactor, modernize, and introduce new functional and non-functional requirement to the current system.
- High complexity of the existing system.
- Comply with internal and external regulation.
- 20 years-old legacy software.
- Limited resources.
- Complex functional requirement due to the nature of the industry.
2) Goind forward
Understanding the requirements, code, & environment.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
To avoid misconception, Sorint submitted a POC that included a prototype of the new design, core features, UX, work/data flows, and the system configuration. Plus, the proposed technology stack. Angular with NGRX, microservices for the BE using Java & GO, integration with AWS for hosting, Docker/Kubernetes, Postgress, Keycloak for authentication, etc.
The comprehensive view of the proposal was met with approval from the client’s side.
Result & delivery (UTD)
Within the agreed timeframes, a high-quality software product that fully complied to all pre-planned requirements. E.g.
- Multi-functional user role system.
- Improved user interface.
- Optimized performance.
- Quality code due to code reviews strategy.
Digital Currency & Wallet
Hybrid Mobile Application
1) Challenge
Client’s requirement included:
- A solution that manages virtual currency exchange between thousands of users.
- Core functionalities were clear, whereas supplementary ones were uncertain.
- Tied deadline. Client intended to introduce the solution during an annual corporate event.
- IOs, Android versions.
2) Goind forward
Sircle Agilistic and Product Office were able to quickly kick-off the project to adherent to the deadline. Assigning the scrum master, PO, development team, and crafting the mockups. While collaborating with client on the uncertainties.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
The development phase initially started using React Native as a framework and was later changed, in the first few sprints, to Flutter. This was a result of the extra functionalities added by the client. This is one of few critical challenges met during the tied deadlines constrain.
Result & delivery (UTD)
- Released a stable version.
- Both applications were smoothly uploaded to the stores days before client’s deadline.
- Meeting all client’s requirements, all versions of the solutions were developed and tested.
