A platform several teams could work on
RFG needed a property and asset management platform with a structured API layer, property management screens and a disciplined development and release process. Several teams would work on it, so it also needed onboarding documentation, release protocols for cron server deployments and a project ownership matrix.
The software
The platform is a Java application. The Panel API (v0.2) gives structured access to property data, the Property Management System (PMS) screens support day-to-day operations, and an admin panel sits alongside them.
The process around it
- A documented release protocol for the development team
- A cron server deployment process
- Patch management and version control
- Orientation documentation for new team members
- A company structure and project ownership matrix
With the documentation in place, new people get up to speed efficiently and the teams coordinate on the platform’s ongoing development and maintenance.
