The company needed to modernize core offerings to ensure future stability and scalability of the solutions supporting the application process for fellowships for physicians and internships for aspiring doctors.

Risk:

• Endeavored to support legacy products built on old technology that posed a risk to stability and growth.

• Rapid development and deployment appeared impossible using traditional methodologies in the timeframe desired.

Action:

• Established a strategy leveraging Agile methodologies and implemented Agile practices and cadence.

• Partnered with business product owners using Kanban for value-based business requirements (User Story) development and prioritization.

• Applied Scrum as the basis for Agile development and delivery.

• Deployed software incrementally every two weeks using Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), delivering the solution incrementally to business units for validation.

Results:

• Businesses rapidly adjusted to the incrementally built business solution.

• Completed in time for the Fall fellowship / internship application season.

• Finished payment processing merely two months later.

• Earned recognition as the largest and most successful solution delivery at the company in more than eleven years.
