Deferment

Tight deadline, new internal portal, and new app feature to be done in a day? Challenge accepted!

We believe that early birds get the worm, but sometimes, we have to be night owls.

Deferment week was one of those times.

We were assigned to take on this task last minute, we rolled our sleeves and got to business.

11:00 PM

12:00 AM

02:00 AM

04:00 AM

06:00 AM

Even in the midst of the chaos, we had to add our touch to whatever we were doing, which was the naming convention as well as the look and feel of the internal website.

To make the task more challenging, we decided that it should be a one-word name.

The options that we started with were: ReliefGate, Continuum, Meridian. However, the one that we were all sold out on was 'Harbour'.

Why 'Harbour'? we wanted to radiate the same emotions that people when they see it: grounded, protective, a place you arrive at safely.

To add to the fun, we made sure the roles are on theme with the portal name. The roles were as follows
