An Opencast project team worked within the green zone as an enabling team from 2021 to help ensure more consistency and standards in system builds, helping improve efficiency and reduce duplication.
Working together, we were able to spot inefficiencies and duplication in workflows across teams, as well as complications when the app reached the deployment stage.
The work led to a reduction in inconsistencies and, crucially, developed new quality-assured templates that could be optimised for different application types such as Java, Node and Node Casa. Teams can now migrate on to these templates to improve application build workflows across the green zone within DWP Digital.
The work culminated in a batch migration to integrate multiple product delivery units (PDUs) into one Gitlab project, providing a consistent and high-quality template solution for 24 application service teams providing no less than 112 applications underpinning services that are consumed by millions of DWP public users.
Throughout the project Opencast worked collaboratively to share knowledge through one-to-one training and shared documentation, as well as participating in engineering steering groups across DWP Digital.
