BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the product manager of a company, focused on creating health and fitness products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ANODA Web & Mobile Development Agency?

We work with several large products in the company, so our in-house team already had too many tasks. Therefore, it was decided to find an agency to work with the new app. We needed help with UI/UX design for an app and watchOS. So we went to ANODA.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We already worked with them a few years ago and had a positive experience. So we decided to contact them again.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

ANODA worked on the UI/UX design of our app, an AI personal trainer with IoT support for the sports equipment manufacturer. The app uses a lot of health and fitness information to provide effective workout plans for each user. It was necessary to create a design that would combine these technologies and a user-friendly interface. It should be easy to use, even during training or running. ANODA did a great job and designed the home screen, training programs pages, advanced user profile settings pages, and so on. Totaly we got more than 75 pages as I remember. And all this was also implemented for the watchOS too.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with several people from their team. Mostly with the project manager. Also, our designers got a Zoom meeting with ANODA's designers to share ideas.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We are very pleased with the deliverables. This is exactly what we needed. ANODA finished work even before the deadline.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I have positive impressions of cooperation with ANODA. They were always in touch, answered all questions, and were attentive to details. Their team has very strong soft skills and their project management style is top-level.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their professional level of design skills. We were very pleased with the interface of our app. It is perfect in every detail!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Currently, I see no cons to talk about.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Our main focus is FinTech software development services for blockchain technology. I'm the CEO and Founder.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ANODA Web & Mobile Development Agency, and what were your goals?

One of our big clients requested a healthcare SaaS platform development for clinics. We asked the ANODA agency to help us and take care of this request.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We met with Oksana, CEO of ANODA agency more than a year ago in a closed entrepreneur business community. We know their work and knew about their problematic customer's experience. Their transparency and communication level were perfect, and we decided to proceed with them. The key deciding factor was that they already had experience in building such platforms.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Technical requirements included: HIPAA-compliant user data storing, SaaS development, AWS deployment, DevOps, Mobile applications development, and store publishing

Project services and stages are:

• Business requirements gathering and SRS creation
• UX journey maps and idea validation
• Application interface design for Web and mobile versions
• User-faced Web application development on React.js
• Back-end development on Node.js, GraphQL, Twilio, and Docker support
• Mobile applications development using Swift and Kotlin Admin-panel for clinics and for supervisors, technical administrators.
• Full-cycle project management
• Milestones and investor demos
• Assisting with technical pitching as a part of customer team

Quality assurance: Penetration testing, Security testing, usability testing, UX, and compatibility testing.

Technologies used: React.js, Node.js, Docker, GraphQL, Twilio, Swift, Kotlin, Figma, Sketch, AWS, IoT, Bluetooth.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

The customer has worked with the CEO and project manager almost day by day. We knew about 1 Designer, 1 Business analyst, 2 Node.js Developers, 2 React.js Devs, 3 Swift, and 3 Kotlin devs, and 2 QA. As I see at least it was about 16 people involved in the whole development process, but they didn't work at one time. They were assigned to different phases according to the project stages.

I enjoyed the team technical level, and it was higher than I expected. All developers were Middle+ or Senior level.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

This project was built with Venture funding so, all documents, milestones, and demos required approval from the high-management part of the Investor's team. We were in the fixed estimate of time and money. Each demo was performed in time with specified functionality. Each demo approval was the most valuable process that we can measure here. As a third party, we were glad about end-customer accounting, and we didn't spend a lot of time on project management and reporting.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The most important for us were customer satisfaction and communication. ANODA fully and by their own controlled all communications in email and custom-setup Mattermost chat. They assigned a dedicated project manager, and he created and handled milestones, sprints, and tasks in their self-hosted Jira. All documentation is written in Confluence. Customer feedback and tickets were transferred through Google sheets and email. We used Trello feedback cards for design tasks.

Summary: Project management: some soft mix of scrum and kanban in Jira As we have a big number of stakeholders communication flow was tricky: Slack for communication with us and the Customer team, WhatsApp for urgent questions, email, Google Hangouts for video calls, Mattermost for technical team communication.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

A huge impact on our project's success made by their CEO. She pitched each demo hand-by-hand with our Customer to the investor's team. At some moment she acted with this project as her own. Oksana and the team provided incredible software solutions for the main application feature. This was a key moment for project investors, and after they gave us full trust credibility.

They provide to us and customers fantastic communication via their project managers, CEO, team leaders. We finished the project earlier than planned with good quality. They are very respectful and expect the same respect from you for their personalities and professional skills

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

They used to replace a project manager in the middle of a project, as he had some sort of health problems after a COVID-19. It was a quick and good replacement, but we'd like to have assigned two dedicated project managers on a such project from the start. They asked to pay in advance for every 2 weeks of an agile sprint, it would be better for us to pay when each milestone completed. It is a more likely practice in the United States. But we were ok with their request.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a health and wellness tech company. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ANODA Software Development Agency?

We contracted ANODA to develop both our Android and iOS platforms simultaneously as well as the backend. These were exact requirements set out and agreed upon for both platforms.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

They were responsible for building out our app, which broke down into a pretty long list of tasks. A couple of notable ones included implementing a registration process, setting up specific questionnaires, a tutorial, and more.

They also needed to implement edge detection algorithms. We’d already written the actual algorithms, so they just needed to implement a certain silhouette in the edge detection part. That took two weeks to figure out when it should’ve only taken a senior developer an hour to do. 

What is the team composition? 

They had to have at least one Android engineer because one of them quit. On the iOS side, they had three developers. About a month and a half into development, we noticed that two of those developers left our Slack channel and were replaced by other resources, all unbeknownst to us. 

It was very clear in our agreement that they wouldn’t replace anyone without our approval because we needed to know who would be replaced. That was a breach of contract. We decided not to pursue the issue at that point because we had tight deadlines and believed that they would still deliver.

How much have you invested with them?

We agreed to a fixed price of $35,000 to complete several features. I paid them 50% in advance — that’s about $17,500 — and I don’t think they’d even worked on our Android product. This was during the middle of a pandemic when projects and cashflow are important.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from April–July 2020. We had to fire them due to performance and non-delivery issues and just the sheer lack of respect from Oksana’s (Founder & CEO) and Artem’s (Head of Marketing) team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with the vendor evolve?

It doesn’t seem like they’re as big of a firm as they present themselves to be. Within the first month, one of their Android developers quit, and they immediately said that this would cause a two-week delay. It’s been three months since, and we haven’t received a single Android release. 

To be fair, we said that the biggest priority was the iOS side, so we were okay with them taking the time to find an Android replacement. However, it’s been three months, and we have nothing to show for it. 

How did ANODA Software Development Agency address the challenges that arose?

When communication fell through with the engineers and project management, it was no longer worthwhile to continue having direct conversations with their team. We sent multiple notifications to have upper management involved in these calls, and they just refused to join.

Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business.

It’s been a nightmare. We have investors here who are waiting for this product, and I’ve got a million dollars worth of commitments. The previous demos worked fine, but they weren’t good enough to have an investor sit with the product unsupervised for a whole week.

That’s why our most recent release was super important. ANODA needed to get it right. But, what we saw was that some of the things they did, they nailed. Then, for other things like the edge detection algorithm that took a while and the registration process that had persistent, critical bugs, they missed the mark.

I can’t say for sure, but it seemed like there were senior resources working on the successful parts while junior resources got stuck on some of the other tasks. Half of the stuff is amazing, but the other half makes you think, “What are you doing?”

It was a constant battle with them to explain things, too. For example, we had a weight-loss feature that was five releases in, and we had to explain them how the feature needed to work at each release. At that point, we’d explained it in every different way possible. 

I even offered to have the instructions written in Ukrainian to limit miscommunication, but we still had challenges with toggles going the wrong way and numbers being incorrect. It was just unbelievable. They’ve cost us a lot more than $35,000 in losses. We’ve lost time, investor commitment, credibility, and potential. 

How did ANODA Software Development Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

There were significant miscommunication issues, despite the fact that we recorded all of our phone calls on UberConference as well as having written emails and Slack messages. Every Monday, we would have a conference call, but it was hard to get upper management on the line to support us. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think that their CEO understands the dynamic between a customer and a contractor. She’s very direct, disrespectful, and sometimes sarcastic in her remarks. It’s as if she treats us like just another person that she can talk to however she wants.

To be fair, I’ve used foul language in some of our calls — not at them, but just to express my discontent. But, after five releases, how could you not be upset that a team isn’t doing what they’ve been paid in advance to do. They had nothing to show for in the Android department in three months. At that point, we’d run out of patience.

They used that as an excuse to disconnect our app from our backend. We can’t log in, register, or even use the previous releases during a time when we have very important demos with investors. They’re willing to take our technology hostage, which is unfathomable. 

Company Responses

The vendor responded on August 24, 2020.

We are sorry that this situation happened. We agreed to make full refactoring and add new features like a fixed price project in 12 weeks.

The client asked us for overtime and changed our roadmap to made a demo on week 6–7. As a flexible team, we made it happen. The demo went great, and the client received investments. The biggest problem was that the client wanted almost a fully working app on week 9 of 12. We told him that it was impossible, and, even if we added more developers, it wouldn't help. 

The next problem arose when the customer paid only 50% of the new scope to "share risks." We delivered 100% of each sprint scope and only then received payment for the next. 

We delivered 100% of the scope of the sprint and on an internal demo. The client didn't use "harsh language." It was purposeful humiliation of honor and dignity for the team. Our manager ended the call, and the client sent "call-in 5 minutes or you will regret it." I had another call, so it was impossible. 

In reply to rescheduling the call, he told us "I don't care. You must deliver everything on Monday." It was Friday night. As a result, the contract was terminated. 

The backend is deployed to the customer's AWS account and he has full control of it. All devices were sent back, and it's been three weeks since as we asking for conversation to deliver the developed part.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a consulting agency for ITO companies and I'm the COO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ANODA Software Development Agency?

I needed an internal software solution where I can track and employees can submit all vacations, day-offs, sick leaves, and other functionalities.

What were your goals for this project?

They were asked to create a software solution to make internal leave management easy, informative and manageable.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We are providing consulting services to them and as we saw that they have highly experienced developers and processes, we decided to choose them as vendors for this project.

To be honest, ANODA themselves provided an idea for this kind of project. And we thought that this is a great idea that can help our company be more productive.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The project is a web application where staff can track the available vacation days, day-offs, sick days, submit requests for such days, see the calendar of holidays. Also, I needed to have a comfortable app where I could track when any of my employees have a vacation or absent due to any reason. It would help me a lot in my planning. As my team is often on the go, we are thinking about creating mobile applications as well.

What was the team composition?

Their team is composed of:

• one iOS 
• one Android
• one frontend (react.js)
• one backend (Golang) developer

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Cooperation with ANODA is still in progress and so far I have no complaints working with them. All deliverables are on time and management is on a very good level. The team understands all requirements without constant repeats and explanations.

I’m sure I will have a long relationship with ANODA and it’s not gonna be the last project for our company.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

They are cool and impressive!

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The communication, level of designers and developers, management --everything is on a high level.

Actually, nothing I can think of right now. Maybe the price for me is a bit high, but they are worth it.

We invested about $75,000.

I’m super happy with the company, especially the developers. Their coding is super.

We didn’t require much project management from their end. Our team handled it internally and that was easy for us. They did do excellent on their part of project management. We used Zoom, Slack, and email to communicate.
