RapidDev

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder of content management platform aimed at saving and sharing restaurant recommendations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Rapid Dev, and what were your goals?

We wanted to develop a Minimally Viable Product (MVP) mobile app to give users the ability to save, organize and share their restaurant recommendations. The goal was 1. to keep the functionality to just the required features 2. keep the cost within budget and 3. produce a functioning app within two months.

SOLUTION

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

We interviewed a number of development groups and were looking for a development group who shared the same vision and could execute based on our provided needs/requirements, within the budget as well as time frame. We decided to find a no-code development group as this was the most cost-effective and timely way to achieve our goals and produce our desired application.

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

We had initial discovery calls aimed at ensuring we aligned on the 1. required features 2. timeframe 3. pricing and 4. to ensure Rapid Dev was approaching the project as our PARTNER not simply as another project to check off. After we aligned, we determined precisely what the key deliverables were (mainly features) and had weekly status calls to discuss progress, updates, road blocks and general ideas/thoughts. The main technology used was Bubble (APIs sprinkled in).

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

We primarily worked with two resources on the Rapid Dev team - Matt, the Rapid Dev CEO, worked primarily as our point-of-contact for the initial scoping as well as throughout the project to ensure the project was meeting deadlines and was to our satisfaction (everything was!).

Eduardo, one of the Rapid Dev developers, would provide the weekly updates on the app's progress and was the primary developer on our project. Both were fantastic to work with as the communication was fluid, concise and the Rapid Dev team were able to digest our comments/feeback/thoughts into tangible features. Great work.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The primary measurable outcome was a working app in the app store within two months of the project starting. This was a stellar outcome and we are excited to continue to iterate and build off the foundation Rapid Dev built for us!

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

A combination of Loom and excel were used to provide updates and keep track of action items and features. We would have weekly calls with status updates consistently coming in throughout the week as features were added or questions arose.

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

The ability of Rapid Dev to digest our idea/thought/feedback and implement or change a feature within the app in a timely and clear manner. This enabled us to meet our deadlines and avoid confusion or road blocks.

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

No areas to improve on at this time.
