Project delivery, Knowit ExperienceFebruary 2017 - February 2020For Statkraft, I have been involved in developing three different projects.
Project 1 - Update intranet interface
In collaboration with the designer, we embarked on the creation of a contemporary and sophisticated front page and a central hub for our internal SharePoint solution.
Project 2 - New blog / sharing hub
Statkraft initiated the process of discontinuing its internal newspaper, a publication distributed to all employees. However, recognizing the ongoing need for internal and external communication regarding the company´s activities, a news hub was strategically introduced. This news hub was seamlessly integrated into the customer´s pre-existing EPiServer solution.
The project team comprised both a backend and a frontend developer, working collaboratively to bring this innovative solution to fruition.
Project 3 - New public web
In 2019, a new public website was meticulously crafted, with a heightened emphasis on articles showcasing the positive impact of Statkraft´s endeavors. The initial plan for this project involved leveraging EPiServer´s cutting-edge headless CMS system. However, owing to uncertainties surrounding the delivery timeline, the customer made a strategic decision to opt for a well-established and proven method within EPiServer.
This undertaking was executed by a collaborative team comprising two backend developers and two frontend developers, pooling their expertise to ensure the successful realization of the project´s goals.
