brainstormed solutions in iterative sprints to ensure
we meet their goals.
1. Iterative Process
Frequent and open communication in the form of standup meetings, weekly updates, a shared project plan and user story tracker ensured the product was evolving per the client’s expectations.
2. End-to-End Solution
We provided a turn-key solution across Visual Design, Software Development and Platform Hosting. This simplified the workflow and eliminated dependencies, driving accuracy and efficiency.
3. Multiple Design Options
Often, there is not a single right answer to a problem. To address this, we created alternative design mockups to convey various final product directions, from which our client could select their preferred option.
4. Best Practice for User Migration
Seamless data migration and user engagement metrics were key principles we followed during the user migration process. We created a solution to invite previous platform users to the new platform and re-engaged with inactive users by informing them about the transition.
