Project Roadrunner
Overview
A repository that will serve as sample app(s) and guidelines for Digital Service team application development. It will be a series of modular internal products that serves as a styleguide with specifications for content, design, engineering envrionment, automated testing and basic documentation.
Primary customers are the Digital Service Team and our approved partners (in-house OIT designers and developers and/or contractors) to ramp up quickly and successfully design, build, and incorporate their apps into existing projects.
Purpose
- Standardization
- As we add more projects, keeping them consistent will be a greater and greater challenge. This will serve as the source of truth for how apps in vets.gov should be designed, written, and built.
- Scale / Extend our small team
- This project can be shared with VA partners so that they may build out parts of vets.gov without a dedicated vets.gov product team. This will not be ready overnight, but we will release and test slowly. This provides vets.gov team with extended resources for design and development.
- Accelerate Delivery
- This outputs of this project will enable partners to design and develop products that meet our specifications and can therefore be deployed on our platform quickly. It also enables the our project teams to accelerate migration and delivery activities exponentially using external resources.
