Approach
We took a desktop product and made it Browser Independent. This would allow them to perform audits on any browser that they had access to, and eventually mobile devices as well. My role was as scrum master and QA where I performed white and black box testing, and was scrum master for two teams.
Result
ProActivity suite is available through Chrome, Safari, and Firefox and is actively used by companies around the world today. Lessons: Moving legacy systems to the cloud is very hard, a lot harder than building cloud software from scratch. The more features you try to enable through the cloud, the higher the chances that they will break.
