OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Kyanon Digital?

We need to adjust our processes and products to the different companies and countries we work with. Sometimes, we face language barriers and have to create different approaches. A new client recently joined, so we hired Kyanon Digital to help us develop a mobile app for that particular project.

We also had some miscommunication issues, but we were able to collaborate well and reframe the project’s schedule.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Most of Kyanon Digital’s staff is very young, so they’re very enthusiastic and have a great spirit. They also work very hard to ensure the project is delivered on time. Whenever we have any issues, new team members join the project to ensure it is completed successfully.

Are there any areas they could improve?

As a young team, they still have to learn how to work under pressure. Moreover, it would be great if they could create a record of every experience they have to pass it over to new teammates, along with the feedback they’ve received.

Be very clear about your expectations, have a clear scope and timeline from the beginning, and ensure to align properly with their team.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
