Project Summary

A digital agency engaged Computools to develop a custom LMS platform to enable teachers and students to create and use multidisciplinary assignments from the client's content database. The long-term agile project began in Nov. 2019; Computools built pilot and early-launch versions, set up auto-testing and AWS environments, and has delivered work above expectations with professional communication.

Key Challenges

Needed senior developers able to handle a complex, long-term LMS project
Required integration with the client's content database so teachers could create multidisciplinary assignments
Lack of detailed platform specifications required the vendor to help create user stories and propose solutions

Project Deliverables

UI/UX work and user stories
Pilot version for platform presentations and user feedback
Early platform version for launch (August 2020 milestone)
Auto-testing setup and complete AWS environment

Project Solution

Computools used agile development to build an LMS platform, starting with UI/UX and producing a pilot for presentations and user feedback. They helped create user stories where specifications were incomplete, implemented auto-testing for quality, and provisioned the complete environment in AWS. The technology stack included Laravel and React, with WordPress integration and ongoing collaboration guided by a single project manager.

Project Outcome

Ongoing project with delivered work that exceeds client expectations to date
Solid deliverables and professional communication supported by a single project manager and tools like Skype, Jira, and Google Docs
