Step 1.
Set up the correct environment
Softblues had their principal engineer work on the project for the first month, which was really integral in helping Virtusize to set up the correct environment: Vue, TypeScript, and a Nuxt framework on the frontend, while our backend team uses Python.
Step 2.
Involve project manager and slack meetings
We have a part-time Project Manager/Functional Analyst on this project. Our team used Jira, and we managed the tasks on our own board; The client was able to get access to that board so he could see what was in progress and what was yet to start.
Step 3.
Design of the system architecture
The project consists of about 20 different features; most of them are related to charting and creating a dashboard for our clients to view their data. First, the Softblues design team crafted a design system for Virtusize — it’s a singular system for a data platform that lets us use the same frontend components across the entire application. This setup minimizes the risk of repeating work and helps to keep a standardized look across the entire application.
Step 4.
Development of the all the frontend components
Once the design system was created, we focused on individual screens. One screen can consist of 5–10 different charts with manydifferent filters and sorting functionalities. It is a very complex analytics dashboard, and the Softblues team helped the client a lot with the UI work, as well as with connecting the endpoints that the internal backend team of Virtusize had developed.
