Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
The general feedback was okay, and we didn't have issues within the development stage.
Our client changed the scope of work, which increased the budget significantly. That led to a problem in finishing the project.
How did Simple Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
Simple Solutions' principal acted as a project manager, and he was quite strong. He had worked in the US for several years and has experience.
We have used JIRA for project management, but Simple Solutions could use any other tool.
What did you find most impressive about Simple Solutions?
Simple Solutions provided a flexible team which could be increased or decreased based on our needs. They specialize in PHP development, so finding resources was easy.
Are there any areas Simple Solutions could improve?
Simple Solutions could have better communicated the scope increase to our investors. It seemed to me that our investor didn't clearly understand how their changes would influence the scope. Not managing expectations properly was possibly one of our project management mistakes, but there is no simple solution to this, and the fault exists on our own side as well.
Simple Solutions' principal acted as a project manager, and he was quite strong. They also provided a flexible team which could be adapted based on needs. Better communication on the scope's increase was cited as an area for improvement.
