Story in depth

Communication channels were established to ensure effective collaboration and coordination between the development team and the client. Regular meetings, updates, and feedback sessions were conducted to facilitate financial software development and address any concerns that arose during the process.

Project Description

During the project, an analysis phase was conducted to create the system architecture and design which involved developing trading and financial operation algorithms on paper. Subsequently, the core system was implemented, including integration with crypto price market data sources and interactive brokers. The team also focused on enhancing functionality, specifically targeting user experience improvements for B2C users.

Digital Platform & Technology

Communication Framework

To facilitate effective collaboration and information exchange throughout the financial software development, a robust communication framework was established between Computools' tech team and the client team. The teams maintained regular meetings, provided progress updates and ensured the existence of clear channels of communication.
The team utilised Slack to streamline communication, enabling team members to engage in real-time conversations, share project updates and collaborate on specific topics or channels. Slack facilitated quick decision making, reduced email clutter and fostered a more dynamic and interactive environment.
Additionally, Jira played a crucial role in structuring project tasks, assigning responsibilities and visualising project progress through customisable boards. It enabled the Computools and client teams to have a clear overview of the project status and maintain transparency throughout the project lifecycle.
