Problem Statement
Reusable UI and uniform experience.
CloudBees is a remote-forward company with employees and clients across the globe. Its focus is on providing enterprise DevOps solutions by enabling developers with tools to deliver quality software while also providing management with equally powerful tools.
CloudBees has a number of different products and each started their own visual directions and component libraries which caused brand confusion. With the rapid advancement of offered services, CloudBees was in great need of a uniform experience across brand and product as well as reusable UI to increase delivery speed.
