Crown & Buckle is a renowned online watch strap store offering custom-styled, high-quality nylon and leather straps at a reasonable price point.

Project Overview

During my tenure at Smart Solutions, I was responsible for the entire Crown & Buckle project, both as a BA/SA as well as a PM.

This project started as a complete site rebuild and upgrade, and then transitioned into a long term maintenance project.

Example Services I Provided

  • PM:  All standard PM-based responsibilities, such as billing, reports, meetings, task assignments, scheduling, QA/Testing, and much more.   This client required every standard PM-related support service over the 2ish years I worked with them.
  • BA/SA:  All standard business analyst-related skills were utilized throughout the years with this client.  Helping design integrations, gathering requirements, wireframe interfaces for new topics, and more were done across the entire project base.
  • Integration Support:  This project has common types of system integrations that are expected from mid-sized Magento clients.  For all integrations I handled complete requirements gathering, solution architecting, PM management for integration, design of customization needs, extension installs and related services. As an example, helping maintain Webgility / Quickbooks integrations.
  • SEO Support and enhancement:  As a long term maintenance project, helping ensure good core web vital score improvements, backlink/301 audit support, speed optimization support, integrations with GA/GTM, integrations with Google Merchant Shopping channels, managing the search console, CRUX reports and more.
  • QA/Testing & Related:  Any changes, updates, security patches, enhancements, deployments, and related needs to be done and tested carefully to ensure site stability.  As a BA, part of my responsibilities was creating and supporting test plans, as well as from a PM standpoint managing the execution and review of the plans.
