Project: The Web Widget - Rapid Application Development

A client that was building their intranet wanted each department to control its own content and forms. They didn't want to have to become web experts, though. VVS Inc. created a web widget (reusable piece of code). When invoked with a department name as an argument, it would find the correct location in the file system and find all the forms for the department in an n-level deep hierarchy. It then rendered the hierarchy using JavaScript with links to each form. This one-day project allowed all the departments to publish all their forms in their own organized hierarchy. When any department had an update, they simply updated their file hierarchy.

The simple widget allowed the client to get configuration management on all of its forms. The intranet became the source of record for the forms. Users printed the forms on demand cutting waste and eliminating usage of "out of date" forms company wide. This web widget empowered all the departments to get their information out to users quickly using the simplest technology possible. It dramatically reduced usage of incorrect forms. Someone estimated the widget saved the company over $20,000 per year in printing and rework for the one day spent developing it.
