Discovery before spec — worked through several options with HR, from a narrow LMS to a full portal, and chose scope deliberately.
Two connected domains, one system — an HR core supplying live org structure and people data, with the LMS built directly on top of it.
Single employee record — personal data, position, documents, leave, and full training/certification history in one place.
Course delivery and certification — video lessons (Vimeo) plus written materials, exams on completion, and automatic certificate issuance straight into the HR record.
Integrations with 1C, SAP, and internal systems — the portal consolidates existing systems of record rather than duplicating them, adding only what none of them held: training and certification.
Permission model mirroring real responsibility — department heads see their unit, learning managers their courses, HR the whole group.
Bilingual at the data-model level — Russian and Kazakh built into every course, lesson, and exam question, not bolted on as translation.
