Project Summary

STX Next provided ongoing maintenance and support for a legacy, Python-based internal product used by the client while the in-house team developed a new generation of tools. They maintained server and machine/test-build code, worked on a continuous integration tool, performed code reviews, and gradually took on more management responsibility. The client praised the team's fast onboarding, technical proficiency in Python, clear communication, and steady delivery using Kanban.

Key Challenges

  • Modernize internal systems while maintaining legacy versions.
  • Keep legacy tools operational during development of a new generation of tools.
  • Outsource maintenance so the in-house team could focus on new development.

Project Deliverables

  • Maintain server code
  • Maintain machine/test-build code
  • Continuous integration tool work
  • Code reviews

Project Solution

STX Next maintained an older, open-source product by keeping its server and some machine/test-build code operational, performing code reviews, and working on a continuous integration tool. The vendor exclusively handled maintenance of the legacy version while the client’s main development team built a new version. Communication used Kanban boards, video-standups, Slack, and biweekly catch-ups; the vendor increasingly assumed responsibility and coordinated with the client’s project lead.

Project Outcome

  • They became productive quickly and required little onboarding.
  • They demonstrated high technical proficiency in Python.
  • They adopted Kanban and delivered steady velocity.
  • They took on increasing management responsibility over time.
