Yanboo was presented the clients brief. After brief presentation, Yanboo asked a couple vital questions about brand direction. They started working on the proposals.

What challenge were you trying to address with Iterative Engineering?

We were unhappy with the software house we had hired to develop the platform, so we were looking for a new partner.

We consulted with the team, explained what we wanted regarding functionality. They helped us further develop the ideas and user flow. They did UX/UI, and then developed the frontend and backend of the platform, implementing all the functionalities. It is a web-based platform, integrated into our website.

The platform allows medical specialists and patients to connect. There is a search function for specialist profiles, calendars, video consultation, a recommendation system for after a consultation, payment capabilities, and reminders of upcoming consultations, for both patients and specialists. They currently provide support, on an as-needed basis.

How did Iterative Engineering perform from a project management standpoint?

They met deadlines, and did a good job explaining technical issues I didn’t understand along the way. They were proactive; I didn’t need to ask them for anything. We use the phone, Jira, and their internal system for communication and access to every aspect of the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have excellent communication, and understood that we were less technically knowledgeable than them. They taught us some things we didn’t know. Their designers and developers are excellent, able to produce advanced solutions.

I wouldn’t say they should do anything differently.
