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

DevIT built an enterprise-grade application for AI-based content development. The application included a central dashboard to track content orders, "order details" pages where clients could view, discuss, add tags to and cancel orders, a custom CRM, authentication, automated notifications, and many more features. Key deliverables included an order form, a unified dashboard, an account details section, and a drag-and-drop internal template builder for our team. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team (led by Anna H.) delivered every deliverable on time, often proactively setting their own deadlines. They developed advanced and often custom features that we asked for (such as an interactive "document builder", custom UI components, and a built-in CMS) without compromising on quality and with what seemed like no effort at all. Most of all, Anna advocated for our team and our product like it was her own.

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

Every item was delivered on time. Anna gave weekly reports and proactively asked for clarification if needed. When project requirements needed to be adjusted from our end, she ensured a seamless transition.

What was your primary form of communication with DevIT?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Excitement for our product and affordability. We often discussed how we had a secret weapon at our belt - Anna tackled just about anything we threw at her with a level of buy-in we had previously only seen within our own team. 
And affordability - for every one dollar we put in, we felt like we were getting three back. 

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

DevIT has some great talent onboard and the processes they have in place are obviously working very well. We were very happy with the service we received.

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

Karina was my main project manager. All items were delivered on time and they were very accommodating to my ongoing changes along the way. They provided me with constant updates along the way and gave me access to Jira which meant I could look at the exact progress of the project. Any questions I had were answered within hours - even on weekends! Cannot fault them.

What was your primary form of communication with DevIT?

Email or Messaging App

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

I first reached out to DevIT about developing a web app for a new business venture. I appreciated that they seemed as enthusiastic about the initiative and its potential as I did. I had a designer from a separate firm produce the designs at first, but I wasn't happy with them, so I reached out to DevIT to see if they could assist here too. Web designer Daniil at DevIT was so creative and innovative that I was hooked on the very first draught.

Then Ivan, a web developer at DevIT, took the reins and turned the designs into reality. Thanks to Karina's leadership as my Product Manager, I've had unwavering support from the team, and they've all exceeded my expectations with their work. They have all been really professional and knowledgeable, and I have always been kept in the loop and consulted thanks to tools like Slack and Jira. I have nothing but praise for DevIT and am excited to continue working with them.

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

Honestly, as they resolved everything I had rarely queried so quickly and amicably, there is nothing they could improve on and I appreciate such excellence!
