Project Summary

STX Next provides ongoing outsourced development to a research firm, delivering engineering resources that work primarily in Python and React. Their engineers use a ticketing system and Agile practices, and the vendor also provides UX design and frontend development support. The engagement has improved the product’s UI and quality, and helped internal stakeholders learn Agile practices. STX Next’s multidisciplinary team can scale resources up or down based on need.

Key Challenges

  • Expand development capacity with a closer/local connection
  • Add resources skilled in Python and React

Project Deliverables

  • Software components built with Python
  • React frontend and UI improvements
  • UX design assets

Project Solution

STX Next supplied engineers who executed work via a ticketing system and followed Agile processes. Initially collaborating with the client’s internal team, the vendor’s engineers increasingly worked independently, delivering backend work in Python and frontend work in React while providing access to UX designers and frontend developers. A service manager served as the main point of contact, assigning staff and coordinating rotations; communication occurred through standups, sprint reviews, Slack and phone.

Project Outcome

  • Improved product UI and overall code quality
  • Increased software flexibility for adjustments
  • Greater transparency and predictability in development processes
  • Internal stakeholders learned Agile practices and ceremonies
