LaunchPad is Macmillan Higher Education's interactive course-ware solution. It is a very complicated integration of numerous systems. The dev team was made up of 15 engineers. We worked according to the best practices of Agile Methodology. Under my leadership, the dev team worked hard to improve its processes to include unit testing, integration testing, 100% peer review, and usage of GitHub (forking workflow + GitFlow workflow = Pull Requests!).
