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

Updating and rebuilding our weather app for Android and IOS. Our Android app was using legacy Java and SDKs and needed to be upgraded to Kotlin. This was a complete overhaul of the app functionality to a new Kotlin codebase and code branches. In addition, a new app was built for IOS (Swift) to mirror the same functionality as the Android app. A large number of stories had to be designed and managed in epics to migrate and rebuild existing functionality.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

New design and wireframes for IOS app; review and finalization of initial design; first implementation available for testing and uploading code to our Github repo.

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

 Lampa Software's project management was excellent. Kate is great to work with, takes detailed notes and follows up frequently to make sure that teams have access to all resources that are needed, including functionality (e.g. API) that our team needed to provide to theirs to continue developing our apps.

What was your primary form of communication with Lampa Software?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Previous experience building similar apps, strong in-house graphic design team.

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

Initial meetings were very informal in terms of physical presentation, though given the situation in Ukraine, to be expected. There was no slide deck or other presentation given which could have better assured our team of the expected work flows and costs. There can be a language barrier when dealing with specific issues (for example, graphical bugs), but this was very minor overall. 
Monthly budgets and invoices do not provide the level of detail they should, including hours worked and rates per team or task/project. This required us to ask multiple times for estimated monthly costs compared to the deliverables list, to make sure we could stay within budget or adjust expected deliverables.
