What is the difference between Agile and Waterfall?

Our senior software developers

Our senior software developers with experience in the banking industry, K360 Solutions have been involved in various projects that require a high level of technical expertise, business acumen, and communication skills. In this blog post, K360 Solutions will share some of the highlights of our recent work and how we leveraged different technologies and methodologies to deliver value to our clients and stakeholders.

Challenging Projects

One of the most challenging projects K360 Solutions worked on was the migration of SharePoint 2013/SharePoint 2016 to the M365 SharePoint Online environment. This involved moving hundreds of sites, workflows, and documents to the cloud while ensuring compliance with HIPAA, Enterprise Data Governance and Document Management, Digital Security, and Access Management standards. K360 Solutions used Power Platform, Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint to create new solutions that enhanced the user experience, improved collaboration, and automated processes. We also utilized MS Canvas App, Dataverse, XML, JavaScript, REST API, and jQuery to customize the look and feel of the sites and integrate them with other systems.

K360 Software Developers

Our software developers at K360 Solutions follow the software development life cycle (SDLC) for all projects. This includes all phases and types of testing, such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing, user acceptance testing, performance testing, and security testing. Various tools and frameworks, such as Visual Studio Code, Git, Azure DevOps, Selenium, JMeter, etc., are used to ensure the quality and reliability of the code.

Waterfall or Agile Methodology

Depending on the project requirements and scope, K360 Solutions adopts either waterfall or agile methodology. As a waterfall project manager, we plan and execute the project sequentially, following predefined milestones and deliverables. As an agile project manager, K360 Solutions uses the SCRUM framework to deliver the project in iterative sprints, collaborating with the product owner, design architect, and other stakeholders. We also act as a SCRUM master for the team, facilitating daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint review, and sprint retrospective meetings. Tools like Jira, Trello, Confluence, etc., are used to manage the project backlog, track progress, and communicate with the team.

WordPress/SharePoint Website Development

One of the projects that K360 Solutions is most proud of is the solution architect role played for WordPress/SharePoint website development. We used our deep knowledge of WordPress and SharePoint plugins and 3rd party connectors to design and implement a website layout that met the organization’s strategies and goals. K360 Solutions worked with a team of copywriters to create engaging content that addressed customer business problems and showcased our solutions. We also ensured that the website was responsive, secure, and SEO-friendly.

Kanban and SCRUM Methodologies

Another project that K360 Solutions enjoyed working on was the technical product manager role for customer-facing website products (B2B or B2C) with Payments, Marketplaces, and e-commerce features. We were responsible for defining the product vision, roadmap, and backlog based on customer feedback and market research. Collaboration with the R&D team to deliver new features and enhancements using Kanban and SCRUM methodologies was a key aspect. Tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, A/B testing, etc., were used to measure product performance and user behavior. K360 Solutions also handled executive escalations by de-escalating high-profile clients and providing advanced technology solutions.

Creating Seamless User Journeys Across Different Platforms and Channels

One of the skills that K360 Solutions has developed over the years is the ability to understand e-commerce functionality directly and integration points to other systems and API connections. This has helped in creating seamless user journeys across different platforms and channels. For example, K360 Solutions helped develop an internal web-based intake form workflow that increased our capacity to deliver more website plugin features to our clients. The workflow integrated with Microsoft Power Platform as a CRM system using REST API to capture customer requests and assign them to appropriate teams.

Better Business Bureau

Another example of K360 Solutions’ work is the development of a SharePoint website for a Better Business Bureau partners’ workshop to collaborate on the design and preparation of training packages. The website also enabled us to deliver online/in-person training sessions using Microsoft Teams integration. The website was built using SharePoint Online modern experience with Power Apps and Power Automate to create custom forms and workflows.
