Project Summary

Devlight provides senior-level development support to a Ukrainian bank, delivering native iOS and Android apps and rapidly adding features to enable customers to perform banking operations online. The engagement began in March 2022 and involves about 20 Devlight teammates working in two-week sprints and collaborating via Jira, Confluence, and Webex. Over two years of development many services are now available online, with features released to the App Store and Google Play every two weeks.

Key Challenges

Launched app required aggressive growth and fast feature delivery
Customers could not visit branches due to the Russian invasion, so services needed to be available online
In-house team capacity was insufficient and hiring was difficult, requiring rapid augmentation
Tight deadlines left little time for onboarding

Project Deliverables

Native iOS mobile app
Native Android mobile app
Regular feature releases to App Store and Google Play
Senior mobile development resources (onboarding-ready)

Project Solution

Devlight developed native iOS and Android mobile banking apps and supplemented the client's in-house team with senior-level professionals to meet aggressive growth deadlines. They provided multiple teams (iOS and Android) and a set of approximately 20 teammates including a project manager, mobile analytics engineers, and mobile developers. Work is organized in two-week sprints with daily scrums, code reviews with the client's leads, and collaboration via Jira, Confluence, and Webex; Devlight onboarded senior staff quickly to accelerate time to production.

Project Outcome

Many banking services moved online enabling customers to perform operations without visiting branches
New features released to production on a biweekly basis
High-quality code and engineering skill as evidenced by regular code reviews and consistent delivery
Improved onboarding speed and scalable team growth (Devlight provided professional developers quickly)
