Client’s request

Česká spořitelna underwent a significant agile transformation in recent years. A key part of this transformation was the implementation of the Spotify model for project management, which required adapting their software tools. This led to the request for the development of the Custom Move application, a multi-step screen similar to the Move screen in Jira.

The solution greatly simplified the use of agile approaches to project management, allowing the client to easily select desired actions and add values such as “tribe” and “squad.” The Custom Move app is part of the project management platform FuJira developed by Česká spořitelna.

Solution

In the first phase, we conducted an analysis of the initial requirements, which we then adjusted to better align with the client’s real needs. We proceeded with the development of the Custom Move application in an agile mode, using Java and React technologies. During the development, we had to respond to many changes and adjust the project requirements continually. It was also necessary to maintain the continuity of the solution for ongoing projects. In November 2019, we released the first version of the app, named Custom Move I, and immediately began incorporating additional client requests. By the end of January 2020, we released Custom Move II.

Before the application was deployed into production, we conducted a “health check” on the client’s FuJira platform to ensure the deployment would be seamless. We performed a comprehensive system configuration review from an administrative perspective, assessed the current state of the Jira instance, and focused on performance and potential future issues. We recommended several configuration adjustments, reduced the number of add-ons, and helped design additional tests to verify the app’s functionality in the future.

Interesting aspects and challenges

The project involved a strong integration between the client’s team and our development team. Throughout the development process, we maintained constant communication, adjusting the project requirements together based on emerging needs. The client’s team was also actively involved in our stand-up meetings to stay as informed as possible about the daily progress of the project.
