Empowering a client’s factory

Once upon a time there was a company with a huge Outsystems factory completely out of control. Old applications lived with modern, which was being developed in the wind by a high number of different suppliers. The quality of delivery was far short of the intended and the deployment itself of each production version was chaotic.

It was then that they decided to ask for help to improve all the development process management on the Outsystem platform. A task for an OutSystems Expert that can carry out factory and team management tasks as well as architecture. A type of specialized service that Kinetit provides.

The intervention was performed in a phased manner, taking tasks such as:

  • Creation of documentation with the factory infrastructure
  • Creation of documentation with the intended team work model
  • Creation of documentation with development rules
  • Creation of processes for deploy between environments
  • Creation of environments monitoring
  • Architecture Audit
  • Code cleaning and review

In the end, Kinetit’s expert intervention led the factory to have been controlled by its managers, leading to a higher level of productivity, improved quality delivered and well prepared to escalate at all levels. It was possible in a few months to go from chaos to order with huge success.
