CoreBlue collaborated closely with Bank of Kigali, bringing a hybrid approach of leadership, strategy, and hands-on delivery to support the bank’s Digital Factory (DF). Our approach was comprehensive, focusing not just on delivering a high-quality mobile app but also on empowering the DF team with the necessary skills and knowledge to sustain and grow their digital capabilities.
Key elements of our solution included:
- Strategic Positioning: CoreBlue provided experienced technical experts who worked alongside BK to define a clear strategy and roadmap for DF, ensuring the necessary team structures and processes were in place to achieve their digital goals.
- Upskilling & Training: We established an internal academy to train BK’s engineers, project managers (PMs), and product owners (POs). Through this programme, BK staff received training on programming best practices, project management principles, and stakeholder management. Our experts conducted workshops, virtual sessions, and created tailored training materials to address specific skills gaps.
- Hands-on Engineering Support: CoreBlue embedded a team of highly skilled engineers within DF to drive the delivery of the mobile banking app. By acting as the primary engineers for the project, we ensured the product met the highest standards in quality, security, and performance. This hands-on approach also allowed BK’s engineers to learn by working directly alongside our experts.
- Agile Implementation: We introduced agile principles to manage the scope, planning, development, testing, and delivery of the app. By incorporating regular feedback loops and collaboration with BK stakeholders, we ensured the app development stayed on track and aligned with the bank’s goals.
Technical Excellence: The app was developed using Flutter, enabling a single codebase to serve both Android and iOS platforms. Our engineers focused on secure storage solutions and state management patterns to create a highly efficient and secure mobile banking experience, interacting seamlessly with BK’s core APIs.
