Introduction

Operating as one of the world's largest investment banks, specializing primarily in asset management, the client set out to refresh the user interface of its risk assessment software. With a team comprising roughly six members and a timeline spanning half a year, they took a hands-on approach to Agile methodologies, employing a modern frontend stack consisting of React, Redux, and Typescript.

The Story

The team concentrated on updating the user interface of a key risk assessment tool, which needed to handle large datasets in a clear and effective way. Their job was to rethink an outdated application and bring it up to modern standards and user expectations.

The Challenge

The toughest part of the project came during integration, when the team had to work through the challenges of a complex legacy backend. The data structures were especially tricky, requiring careful attention and inventive solutions. Even with their experience, the task turned out to be more demanding than expected and pushed the team to stay sharp and adaptable.

The Results

A key moment in the project came when the team shared their progress with a business owner, which added extra pressure to deliver. In the end, their persistence paid off - stakeholders were pleased with the results. The updated UI met the bank’s current needs and helped them stay competitive in a market where outdated systems were quickly falling behind.
