Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) integrated with a 10–15 person in-house programming team at Kimetrica to implement Django CMS websites and deliver AngularJS front-end work. They provided project managers and development teams that adopted the client's project management processes (Redmine/Jira) and committed code directly to the client's GitLab. The client is satisfied with pricing and GLOBALDEV’s ability to fold into the in-house team's workflows.

Key Challenges

  • Resource constraints and lack of in-house programmers for certain projects
  • Need for specific Django (Django CMS) expertise for implementations
  • Requirement to integrate external developers into existing project management and development workflows

Project Deliverables

  • Implemented website using Django CMS
  • AngularJS front-end for single-page JavaScript visualization
  • Integration with client's project management and version control workflows (Redmine/Jira and GitLab)
  • Ongoing maintenance and smaller change requests to the back-end and site

Project Solution

GLOBALDEV provided Django development (including a Django CMS website implementation) and AngularJS front-end development for single-page application visualizations. For each engagement they assigned a project manager and assembled a team with the skills required. They integrated with the client’s workflows by adopting Redmine/Jira processes and committing code directly to the client’s GitLab repository.

Project Outcome

  • Implemented a working Django CMS website that translated an external design into a live site
  • Ongoing delivery of change requests and front-end work, enabling split work across vendor and internal teams
  • Strong communication and successful adoption of client's project management processes and GitLab integration
