UPS needed a career site where candidates could search for open positions and learn more about the company and the roles it offers. I owned the front-end build at Radancy (formerly TMP Worldwide), working alongside the broader project team on the engagement.
Rebuilding the entire site mid-project. The biggest obstacle was having to rebuild the whole website. The person at UPS overseeing the build left the company toward the end of the project, and once their replacement settled in, they wanted the entire site rebuilt with a different look and feel. That's a major change to absorb late in an engagement.
Reset the timeline, then rebuild from the new designs. To take on a change that size, we got the client to agree to extend the project due date. Once we'd settled on a new deadline, I was tasked with rebuilding the site from the new designs — essentially a second build on top of the first.
What I took away. The biggest takeaway here was that clients can change their minds at any point in a project, and it's up to us as a team to adapt to what they need. We pulled it off, and the site went on to win Site of the Year within the company.
