JAGAAD is the perfect partner, but if they could find more developers who speak Italian, that would be fantastic.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

JAGAAD is developing the frontend of the ML platform using JavaScript, specifically, React and Vue.js. We’re in the early stage of the project, but JAGAAD has already drafted the platform’s UX/UI using Figma. They’ve shared all the design graphics they want to implement on the frontend. I’ve provided feedback on the templates they provided, which, in conjunction with my propositions, are being used in the designs. 

Once we have the frontend developed, JAGAAD will create the backend.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with JAGAAD?

We hired JAGAAD for staff augmentation and custom software development services. Our main requirement was that they be very flexible because we needed someone who was ready to get dropped into the market immediately.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I first gave them a small task to solve one particular issue as a test and as a way to smoothly onboard them onto the platform. From there, we have been introducing more complicated tasks and customer requirements.

They’ve developed the whole frontend of a website we designed, and they provided us with the software for that. We mainly use PHP language with some market frameworks, like Laravel.

I started with one project manager, and we’ve hired four top developers from JAGAAD.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

I'm very satisfied with the quality of the work, the quality of the handover they have with other teams, and the quality of the people. 

How did JAGAAD perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been really good, but sometimes we exceed timelines and budgets because some requirements were unclear at the beginning of the project. We use Jira for project management. For communication, we use everything because nothing is 100% reliable. We use Google, WhatsApp, Telegram, emails, and a few other channels, but we mainly use Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

After the first brief, they took the first few days to set everything up perfectly to enable a smooth workflow. They’re great people, and it's lovely to work with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their reporting could be a little bit more precise and detailed.

Any advice for potential customers?

Be professional, set an environment of standardization, and have clear requirements.
