Process:
Our team started by collecting the client's business requirements. During the online workshop, we learned how the current visit reservation system worked and what the client expected from our solution. Important: our system was not meant to replace the current system.
The second step was to establish KPIs and deadlines. We developed the software in weekly sprints, but during the work, it turned out that due to parallel projects on the client's side and the involvement of the technical team, the schedule had to be changed.
The third step was to design the system architecture and communication between systems. We used the Swagger tool to establish the APIs.
We decided on a set of serverless services from Google: Google DataStudio, BigQuery and TensorFlow, which allowed us to implement data analysis faster and cheaper.
As we mentioned, the client's technical team worked on other projects in parallel, so we decided to take the initiative in proposing solutions, or if you prefer, process innovation. Thanks to this, the client was able to carry out their projects and the system implementation was moving forward anyway.
The concept was simple: we got short feedback (yes or no) on the ideas and the work continues. As a result, the client's team did not have to go into the details of the implementation but could focus on defining and verifying goals.
Effective, isn't it?
To collect the feedback on the code, we used GitLab issues and Slack, a perfect combo for this project.
