Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

To run an early-stage discovery and documentation sprint for Rankforge and deliver a Vision & Scope package that turned an initial idea into a build-ready product direction, aligned stakeholders, and defined what the MVP should (and should not) include. As a result, Rankforge received a set of artefacts:

• Vision & Scope document with product goals, target users, core value proposition, MVP boundaries, assumptions/constraints, and success criteria
• Key use cases describing how customers will use RankForge end-to-end
• MVP feature list and priorities (what to build first vs later)
• Stakeholder alignment notes capturing decisions and open questions
• High-level implementation roadmap outlining next steps and phases from discovery into delivery

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project gave us an agreed Vision & Scope that clearly defined what RankForge’s MVP is (and isn’t), who it’s for, and what the top priorities are. With that in place, we were able to move straight into estimation and delivery planning, reduce open questions and rework risk, and start development with a clear, shared blueprint saving time and budget compared to a longer, less structured discovery process.

Project management was smooth and well-organized, and everything was delivered on time. They were quick to respond, flexible with changes, and proactive when we needed input.

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

What stood out was how quickly they took a rough early idea and turned it into a clear, build-ready Vision & Scope. The process was super structured, and their AI-assisted approach helped move things along without cutting corners.

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

Nothing comes to mind. Everything went smoothly and met our expectations.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of IT, test, and QA at a pharma health organization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Virtual Nomad?

We needed help with patient recruitment and clinical trials. We had an internal development team, but we needed support.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Virtual Nomad has helped us develop a custom software solution that allows pharma companies to speed up their drug development. We initially helped them to identify the patients for the clinical trials and delivered them a lot of statistics about our hospital network and patients. They’ve provided testing and development services; 90% of the resources do testing and 10% do the development.

We have a vast distributed search engine in many hospitals worldwide. It’s a distributed cloud solution that allows us to access real-time patient data from many hospitals.

Additionally, Virtual Nomad is responsible for release management; they control the build before going to the release. The test services are broad. 

What is the team composition?

Currently, we have one senior JavaScript software developer and three testers.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Virtual Nomad supported us through a VNcent discovery engagement, they focused on shaping a product concept into a structured plan that the team could execute. They led workshops to capture our inputs, challenge assumptions where needed, and turn them into clear decisions around functionality, priorities, and user experience. Key deliverables:

• A consolidated product definition pack covering vision, scope boundaries, user segments, and success metrics
• User journeys for the primary workflows
• A prioritized MVP backlog with requirements-level detail (user stories / acceptance criteria)
• Clickable UX/UI prototypes
• A concise handoff summary with decisions, risks/open items, and recommended next steps for implementation

VNcent saved us a lot of time and money by running a fast, well-structured discovery sprint and delivering solid Vision & Scope docs with clickable mockups.
