Contemporary web solutions for tradition and progress

As part of the project, the focus was on determining the requirements for a full-service results calculator. Based on these requirements, the students developed a web application that enables employees of Liebherr Österreich Vertriebs- und Service GmbH to obtain a comprehensive overview of their service contracts. This new web application replaces the company's previous solution.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The ten students formed five teams and focused on the areas of project manager, requirements analysis (RE), dev ops, backend and frontend. This opportunity enabled the students to familiarize themselves with a previously new area and gain valuable experience and skills / competencies. 

COOPERATION WITH THE COMPANY

The practical project group held two workshops to analyze requirements in order to gain a better understanding of the added value of the project. In the first workshop, the group invited the key users from the department to the Kufstein University in order to agree on the expectations of the computer's functionality. A second meeting was held shortly afterwards at the company headquarters in Puch. The RE team took a closer look at the precise logic behind the computer in all its facets on site. Development work could then begin on the basis of the defined requirements. Once the first prototype was completed, the team carried out the corresponding key user tests. The students were able to present the results of the project directly at the Liebherr plant in Bischofshofen. They were then given a tour of the plant and gained an impression of the production process.
