The challenge
- Build the strategic planning web application used by the executive leadership team in modern Angular.
- Replace an older system.
- Meet a firm deadline set by the CIO.
What it needed

What we did
Design and planning
UX design, product planning, architecture and agile project management from the start of the work in July 2021.
Angular and Firebase build
A senior engineer and a mid-level developer built the app in Angular on Firebase, with a Google Cloud Platform DevOps engineer added in August 2021.
Wrap-up improvements
Dashboard performance improvements, administration tools and defect fixes in January 2022.
Knowledge transfer
Mentoring during the build, then knowledge transfer and signed off-boarding plans when the team rolled off.
The result
- Modules 1 and 2 were live and in business use by December 15, 2021, before the client's deadline.
- The system was stable, and the CIO reported positive end-user feedback.
- The college returned for a maintenance engagement in April 2023.
