My client requires discrete services to cover the Microsoft SharePoint platform upon which the client has built custom solutions. The client has been using SharePoint since version 2010, during which it has been upgraded, and customized to be used in many areas of collaboration, and sharing projects.

There are currently 3 SharePoint production farms:

  • SharePoint 2013 hosting a few legacy applications being decommissioned in 2022.
  • SharePoint 2019 the main farm where the majority of products are running on.
  • Microsoft Project Server 2013 being migrated to Microsoft Project Server 2019 in 2022.


The Client has customized SharePoint and created a legacy of applications built upon the platform, which have then been upgraded to 2013 and will soon move to SharePoint 2019.

These legacy customizations were built using the full trust server side APIs, and heavily used C#, and ASP.Net. The future development standard will be to use the new SPfx JavaScript frameworks. As part of adopting these new frameworks, the legacy applications will have to be migrated and converted to the new framework.

The profiles will be expected to work in the following stages of software development for new projects:

  • Application architecture and strategy development
  • Application prototyping and piloting
  • Application analysis design and development
  • Application testing and documentation
  • Automation where possible of testing, packaging and deployment.
  • Data or document migration



The activities mentioned above are best structured using a software engineering project management methodology, which should then be supported by tools.

The existing applications created on SharePoint require maintenance, and software management. The projects which total thousands of lines of code, also use many of the .Net libraries. This has meant the knowledge and
