Cloud Migration and Scalability Enhancement for Agile Task Estimation Platform

The client needed to enhance the accessibility and security of their task estimation application for distributed teams across various regions. Existing infrastructure posed challenges in scalability, redundancy, and protection against network attacks, limiting team collaboration and efficiency.

A medium to large-scale software development firm developing collaborative Agile tools for distributed teams, seeking to improve application accessibility, security, and reliability through cloud migration.

• Migrate the existing application to a cloud environment to improve accessibility for international teams.
• Implement a highly available and redundant infrastructure with multi-region deployment to ensure system reliability.
• Enhance security measures to protect against network threats using advanced firewalls or security services.
• Leverage Infrastructure as Code for environment management and scalability.
• Enable seamless online planning and comparison sessions for global user participation.

• Task Estimation Module: Provide users with the ability to estimate task difficulty and duration using measurement cards (e.g., points, hours).
• Virtual Session Support: Facilitate real-time online planning poker sessions accessible from anywhere globally.
• Comparison Functionality: Enable easy comparison of task complexities within individual sessions for better prioritization.
• User Management and Role-based Access Controls: Ensure secure, multi-region user access with proper permissions.

• External security services for Layer 7 network traffic security
• Monitoring and logging tools for system health and performance tracking
• Authentication and authorization systems for user management

• High availability with multi-region deployment to ensure system uptime and redundancy
• Scalability to support increasing numbers of concurrent users and sessions
• Security measures to protect against network attacks, with compliance to organizational policies
• Responsive performance with minimal latency during real-time sessions

The project aims to significantly improve application accessibility for global teams, increase system reliability with multi-region redundancy, and enhance security posture. Expected outcomes include more efficient and secure task estimation sessions, enhanced team collaboration, and reduced system downtime, leading to increased productivity and stakeholder confidence.
