RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• RapidDev was able to provide a functional, quality MVP in a reasonable time frame and budget. 
• Despite an evolving scope, RapidDev was able to communicate clarification points and suggested workarounds, in a highly proactive and clear manner. 
• Our regular weekly sync helped me track our progress and in the rare cases there were delays, workarounds and corrective actions were performed.

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

They produced the deliverables on time and on budget. The project manager was highly engaged, and their leadership leaned in from time to time as well. If there was a certain bottleneck, the PM and leadership also served as thought partners for solving problems and developing a work around.

What was your primary form of communication with Rapid Dev?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their communication skills are pretty strong. Weekly syncs over Loom helped prevent unnecessary meetings, their emails were succinct and structured, and each meeting concluded with reviews of action items on myside and their side. This helped me maintain my confidence throughout the project.

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

A unique aspect of our project was that it required a web-app in an English and non-English version. For the non-English version, there was a translation process that felt unstructured with loose ends. Additionally, there was a change of scope in the middle of the building phase, and the timeline impact of these changes could have been better communicated.

Rapid Dev has been able to meet our deadlines and stay on budget. To communicate, we use email, Slack, video conferencing, and phone calls.

Their transparency and communication are impressive.

No, there aren’t any. It’s been a fluid and smooth process overall.
