Thank you for your response, Brett. I expected that this wasn’t possible, but I wanted to confirm. We already use the Import and Compile in most cases, but I was wondering if there might be something to use projects in client side.

Hi John, well it actually depends on the project. For our internal developments on InterSystems IRIS, we use Bitbucket for version control (with some difficulties due to the server side nature of IRIS). For deploy, since integration with Git-based workflows can be challenging, we still rely mostly on manual deployments using XML exports of projects (but we are working a lot on this recently). 

On the contrary, for InterSystems TrakCare, where we work as contractors, we must follow the InterSystems approach, specifically using Perforce as centralized source control. In this case, given the strict data privacy requirements, we don’t have access to the whole TrakCare codebase, which is the main dependency. Therefore, we adapted to InterSystems workflow which is heavily based on project-driven development and CCR-based deployment.

Do you have any advice on how to work and deploy in these use cases (particularly the first)?

You're welcome! I'm glad you find it useful
