Innowise

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Trumpet provides software and business process consulting services for the financial, legal and healthcare markets. I am one of the founders, and have extensive technical experience.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Innowise Group?

One of our internal applications (Java, Spring, JPA) is used for license management, invoicing and billing. We had a single developer working on this project, and needed to increase the release cadence so we could get features added more quickly. We also wanted a new perspective on the code base, recommendations for leveraging 3rd party libraries, etc...

What were your goals for this project?

To decrease the cycle time for enhancement implementations from 2 months to 1 week while increasing code quality.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Innowise reached out to us initially. After several phone calls with Innowise - including interviewing the developer we would be working with

• I spoke with 3 of Innowise's current clients that were of similar size and scope to us. We then scoped a very tight project and let them work. This proved out their ability to work with our version control system, and gave us a chance to evaluate their speed and code quality. The results of that test project were exceptional
• super quick turnaround, very, very clean code
• plus a willingness to push to improve things (not just do what we told them to).
• Finally, we scoped a full project enhancing our LMS software - but we selected a project that was fairly surgical so they only needed to deeply understand two or three sub-systems to be successful. Since then, we've added more and more projects, which have increased the scope of their understanding of the various sub-systems. At this point, Innowise understands about 95% of the code base.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Innowise is now a partner in our sprint planning-we create specifications for upcoming enhancements and invite them to comment. We then maintain a shared prioritized work queue (using Trello) for specs that don't have further questions. Innowise works off that queue and delivers new functionality each week. This work has included everything from re-writing our PayPal merchant services interaction library (which was 10 years old) using modern development approaches to adding additional REST endpoints, to implementing a PDF templating system.

What was the team composition?

• Customer Operations manager
• Product Owner
• myself
• Innowise developer
• Project Manager 
• Innowise PM (primarily helping with balancing scheduling at Innowise
• I do most of the in-project PM work as the Product Owner)

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

New functionality is being added weekly (instead of taking months). Our Operations group recieves the enhancements they need to work faster. We are being exposed to new libraries and ideas of how to solve the development challenges. This enables our Operations group to become much more innovative, and we are implementing efficiency enhancements at a record rate.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We use a combination of google docs for writing product specs, and Trello to manage priorities and communicate which enhancements are being worked on, ready for code review, ready for deploy. This has been very, very effective. We also use Slack for more rapid communication when the developer has questions for the product owner.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their willingness to work with our processes and systems - but to also provide recommendations. All of our communication has been friendly, professional and solution oriented. Overall, the speed with which they deliver quality code is wonderful.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Initially, there were a few times when we asked for changes that are outside the developers skill set. The developer reached out to us after the fact to let us know that while he was able to get things working, it would be a lot more efficient if we included another member of the Innowise team who specialized in HTML/CSS/Javascript. So we are evaluating that right now. We have to explicitly ask for unit tests to be created. Once requested, they do a good job with building the tests - they just don't have a TDD instinct. This is fine - we just needed to start including test requirements in our specifications.

Innowise was tasked with developing a Pitch Deck for our new product. The pitch deck needed to effectively and succinctly explain our product, outline our company’s vision, define our competition and our target audience, highlight the current market state, explain our monetization strategy, and showcase a product demo. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

At each stage there was clear communication about the next steps with definable timelines. First step was information gathering, then content creation, and finally design.  Each stage was clearly visible in real time by using Google Group Chat and Google Slides. The end result being our amazing Pitch Deck presentation.

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

Everything has been delivered within the expected timeline. During the content creation phase our marketing specialist was very articulate in outlining our product, and any adjustments were attended to promptly. And during the design phase, our designers were equally responsive to any adjustment requests. Overall the experience to having our needs met was great!

What was your primary form of communication with Innowise?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

From the start Innowise was very engaged, they clearly had the expertise to produce what we were after. Their workflow was streamlined, and consistent, always keeping us up to date on what was happening. Communication and transparency is always important when working with others online, and the Innowise team exceeded our expectations on this front. Because Innowise is a full service provider, it has been a pleasure getting our wide range of multidisciplinary questions answered by a single company; this has saved us a lot of time. 

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

Innowise are very effective in their service, I could not think of anything that needs improving.
