MVP launch

Communication can always be better, doesn't matter how good a group is. With that being said, we were able to complete the project with all the necessary communication required to get the project done in a reasonable time frame.

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

To create a fully functional mobile parking marketplace app for delivery to the App store and Google Play store. Use of my existing wireframes and additional creative problem solving during the build. 

The scope document is far too large to paste here. Alex took the core wireframes and created the app from scratch from the new user onboarding, lost password, to the actual functionality of the dual sided marketplace, all the way through stripe payment setup, reviews, and my owner's dashboard as well as testing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Alex kept me informed at all steps, also through the use of Trello board and Slack. Measurable outcomes were (1) first getting the framework of the app set up, (2) then working on the UI, (3) then the backend payment interaction, and (4) finally testing and getting approval in the app store.

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

Everything was delivered on time. Alex was very communicative if something was taking longer than expected and explained why and then was able to delivery. Very responsive, within maybe an hour of a request I would have a well thought out response. He also is good at explaining why or why not we should do one thing or the other, especially to me who is not incredibly coder/tech savvy.

What was your primary form of communication with Let's Build My App?

• Virtual Meeting

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

They did what they said they would on the timeline and budget agreed upon. I can't ask for more than that! I thought that from the jump, Alex "got" my project and understood what it was and what I was trying to accomplish. Moreover, when there was an issue--like something I wanted was going to be difficult to do or potentially time consuming/costly, we would hop on a zoom and go through it and brainstorm workarounds.

This really helped get to the amazing final product and again helped me (non-technical) feel comfortable with the direction we were going. That little extra personal touch goes a long way toward the trust factor that I am in good hands.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Let's Build My App could have done differently?

Not that I can think of. Reasonably priced, Stuck to the timeline, and most importantly--created an app that I am incredibly proud of.
