Challenge

The global Pandemic changed the way employees and businesses conduct themselves. However, Lufthansa saw an opportunity. After countries exited lockdown Lufthansa’s services would be crucial to the global economy.

The challenge was to refresh the brand within a very limited timeframe and trimmed budget to contain costs. Smudge Technologies was appointed to efficiently manage the execution of the website refresh with a mid-scaled team and 1 month to deliver the complete project.

Working closely with the Lufthansa marketing team through daily communication Smudge Technologies used Scrum methodology to manage content updates, develop, deploy and execute the project.

We executed the following:

  • Migrate the legacy data to the new website build while maintain the existing website and the daily content updates until the end of the project.
  • Maintained a healthy communication regime between the Lufthansa marketing team and the developers through daily standups.
  • Replaced the outdated custom CMS of the previous website with a state-of-the-art modern and secure website with optimized loading speeds.
  • Provided an accelerated agile sprint methodology to deliver the project in time and within budget.
