RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Edge provided two developers, one of which was the project manager. Both responded reapidly to my communications. All deleries were on time.

What was your primary form of communication with Edge Audio Labs?

Email or Messaging App

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

The most impressive thing I found about Edge was the level of documentation of their work that went head and shoulders above nearly all developers I've worked with in my 35+ years of software development. The attention to detail is something that you really cannot teach. Edge Audio Labs appears to have been built into their culture and is greatly appreciated. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Edge Audio Labs could have done differently?

As with all software development projects, the key to success is communication of deliverables. Edge always focused on clear deliverables, but somtimes the deliverables were hazy because the project was new to them, so they did their best. Any deficiency on that end was minimal, and was probably more my deficiency in not explaining things clearly. What Edge did was receive the clarification and do the work without complaining or asking for more money, demonstrating a desire for a long-term relationship. In turn, I gave a bonus at the end of the milestone in fairness and recognition of Edge going above and beyond, which they acknowledged and appreciated.
