Project Summary

Railwaymen developed a service-oriented Ruby on Rails guided learning platform that included a CMS, admin panel and frontend to manage the learning journey. The vendor adapted to shifting agile requirements and communicated efficiently, though short deadlines affected initial quality. The client praised the team's commitment to quality and ongoing improvements.

Key Challenges

  • Build a learning platform that integrates with an existing Ruby on Rails app under a very short timeline.
  • Deliver a service-oriented system with CMS, user, messaging and notification services while requirements were not fully defined.
  • Meet quality expectations despite shifting requirements and tight deadlines.

Project Deliverables

  • CMS
  • Admin panel
  • Frontend learning journey
  • User service
  • Messaging service (chat via XMPP)
  • Notification service

Project Solution

Railwaymen built a service-oriented Ruby on Rails application that integrated with an existing platform. They implemented a CMS for editors, an admin panel to create guided learning journeys and end-user account flows, and developed user, messaging (chat via XMPP) and notification services. The team delivered functionality from scratch following agile processes and adapted staffing levels as workload shifted.

Project Outcome

  • The platform has been continuously improved since launch.
  • The client considered the project important and noted the vendor's commitment to quality, including the team working in shifts to deliver features.
  • Project management was run using Confluence, Jira and Slack.
