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

The scope of work included bringing my idea and vision to life; of desigining and then (software) developing a mobile app that would revolutionize how people keep track of their personal belongoings and appointments. Then afterwards, market that idea to a targeted audience through various social and public media. This took approximately one year to develop and realize. Then it was tested with various audiences in different countries, before finally being made available 'live' to download via Google Play Store (Android version) or Apple App Store (iOS version). Other key deliverables include a dedicated homepage website, video advertisement, and maintance plan -that would monitor the app on the server, and apply bug fixes and patches as needed (for a monthly service fee).

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After staying and keeping in close contact with the software team assigned to the project - we would make various changes and revisions to the product via weekly virtual meeting, emails, phone calls and texts. Throughout the process, I was given suggestions and shown their value through demonstrations and feedback from other similarly employed utility (mobile) apps. I was also granted access to both Apple and Google's app analytics web pages to monitor the app's progress and popularity, both domestically and internationally. A similar strategy was also  employed with regard to the website homepage, and various public and social media platforms, and tweaked accordingly for best results, tracking both optimization and utilization. 

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

The project was intially contracted and onboarded by Henry, and then launched and sheparded by Mike - both of Digital Software Labs. Sam Perez was then assigned Chief Engineer and Program Manager to the project, with Keith overlooking marketing as Social Media Manager. Items were delivered on time, with very few exceptions. And any outstanding issues or concerns I had were given the highest attention and addressed expeditiously. 

What was your primary form of communication with Digital Software Labs?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The team was extremely helpful in responding to my needs, suggesting solutions and recommendations that would provide the most optimal results, all in a prompt and professional manner. The cohesive nature of the team and their ability to work cross-functionally, almost like a family, were most impressive! I would not hesitate to utilize their knowledge, skills, and expertise on a future project. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Digital Software Labs could have done differently?

The only thing that really comes to mind with regard to areas of improvement, would be in setting 'milestone' marker dates with the customer.  For example, if you tell them you anticipate the next revision for a certain app platform would be out in two weeks, and in reality, is released a month later; then my suggestion would be to tell the customer (up front) that it should take probably a month. If it is released earlier, then all the better.  Other than that, eveything else is superlative!

Are there any areas for improvement or something Digital Software Labs could have done differently?

Overall, the experience with Digital Software Labs was very positive, but one area for improvement could be providing more detailed post-launch support and training materials for managing website updates independently. While the team was responsive and helpful, having a clearer guide or walkthrough for content edits and maintenance would have made the transition even smoother. 
Additionally, offering more design mockups during the early stages could help clients visualize options before finalizing the layout. These are minor suggestions within an otherwise excellent collaboration.

The communication was clear, the design was creative, and they were always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was happy. Their combination of professionalism, patience, and attention to detail truly set them apart.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, I had a great experience. If I had to mention something, I think a bit more guidance on how to manage and update the website myself after launch would’ve been helpful. A short tutorial or user guide would’ve made me feel more confident handling basic changes. Also, there were a couple of small delays in revisions, but nothing major. Otherwise, the team was responsive, creative, and easy to work with.
