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

We've been happy so far. The project we asked them to undertake (fixing an existing, buggy app) was a big one, but they seem to be making good progress through it and staying on schedule and budget.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I came to know about JumpGrowth through Cofounderlab in 2019. The key factor for me during the selection process was the level of trust developed in the very early discussions.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

JumpGrowth took the project through the entire software development life cycle. The app features several integrations including AI and calendar, push notification and workflow automation just to name a few.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

The team varies depending on the assignment but we always had a dedicated Project Manager, Developer and QA lead.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We were able to successfully launch as scheduled and made enhancements to the app in subsequent releases.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Communication is one of their strengths. They are always readily available on Slack. Our weekly meetings as needed were conducted via Teams.

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

For me it was most certainly their communication, responsiveness, and flexibility that stood out. There was no language barriers and when you are startup trying to work to keep your cost low, the last thing you need is miscommunication to cloud or delay progress.

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

I would prefer to be given more suggestions on approach to meet the stated requirements without compromising cost as I am not always able to think through every possible use case but at least what I need accomplished is always understood.

BACKGROUND

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire JumpGrowth, and what were your goals?

We needed to take our legacy product, use that as a base and have the necessary development done to satisfy the needs of our new product (ESION) and take that live in production.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

OTS contacted me via email and after the intro meetings we felt comfortable moving forward with the design/dev/testing phases

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Modify the existing platform to meet the needs of our ESION product. This involved API's, database, AWS auto-scaling and web-app development.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

4 people from OTS worked with us. Resource manager, project manager, development and Architecture.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

While the project went longer than planned that was because we had to extend the requirements and deliverables. OTS stepped up and worked very hard to make all the necessary changes.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The PM's report progress and status in a timely fashion. The PM also follows thru with requests for status and helps me feel comfort in the progress.

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

The developer took ownership in the projects success and many times worked extra hours and even weekends to insure deadlines were met. The architect's knowledge has been very impressive and wide ranging. In addition, the management performed periodic check-ins with us and resolved problems in a timely fashion.

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

The one area of the project that needed improvement was in the project management area. However, OTS realized this, performed an internal review and assigned another PM to the project. The new PM has been so much better. Communication has improved dramatically.

Their ability to understand the full problem, and respond with state of the art technologies tools and libraries. Rich technical skills that can deal with the many different technologies involved.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Multiple iterations on the project spec and scope. I would provide high level requirements and they would respond with more detailed technical approaches. We designed a set of sprints and set of features to be addressed in each sprint. They were thorough in delivery of test scripts and multiple device testing (an issue in the Android world). They were expert on libraries and frameworks that allowed us to deliver on both iOS and Android at the same time.

They were also strong with the backend database the tracked and managed user relationships and user carbon reduction activities. They were also strong in helping us set up the management tools so that a non-programmer can use a web page to create user actions and user daily reminders. Our Admin is able to manage the actual content presented to users inside the app. This is all done using the Admin website they created.

JumpGrowth set out to augment our team to stage us for growth.  We had a slow server that need to be migrated to another provider.  We also needed to develop some internal applications and send data between servers via APIs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team meets with us regularly for updates. Aksita, the team lead communicates with our team members via email and Slack and keeps us informed. Surprises are avoided as well. We can also see the progress directly on the applications they develop. The testing appears to be thorough as well as there are few redo's if any.
The biggest struggle is time to market and theu are okay with pushing the envelope there and forging ahead when we need to compress time to market.

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

JumpGrowth understands the importance of managing expectations, timing, budget, and having the right people in the right seat.  The project needs have grown as our trust in their team and approach has grown.  They do what they say they will do.  I'm sure that a lot of that is due to the PM we were assigned; she has been great!

What was your primary form of communication with JumpGrowth?

Virtual Meeting

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

I have been very happy with the depth of the JumpGrowth bench.  When we needed a ML expert, they pulled one in.  When we needed a UI expert, they had that on staff.  When testing became critical to meet a deadline, they had that available.  In short, they have been a really good addition to our team.  The best part is that they can pull on one resource or another while managing the budget as well.

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

The projects are on time and with one exception, on budget.  There was one slight wobble that was corrected a month or so ago and it was quickly and professionally managed.
