Following consultation with the client, we agreed upon a clear and unambiguous communication framework with scheduled regular face-to-face and online meetings and regular reports by email.Our communication ecosystem also incorporated a structured documents environment and client access to Computools' internal task managing platform. This made both the general project roadmap as well as specific processes transparent and clear for all parties.

Team

Trying to meet all customer requirements, we form a team of professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge. For this project, we've chosen experienced developers, Project Manager and a Team Lead, who were able to finish the work on time.

Backstage

The application development process flows more active and fast if it is properly organized. Our company uses the latest technology for brainstorming, sharing experiences and ideas. Thanks to this, our teams are so effective and efficient.

Whiteboard Meeting

Cooperation with other teams and clients also allows to share experiences and make the necessary changes to ready-made solutions, as a fresh look allows to identify small bugs and errors

Team Brainstorming

The brainstorming sessions help our engineers to find a really innovative solution. They stimulate creative activity and each participant has an opportunity to offer as many options as possible, including the most fantastic ones. It helps to hit the necessary ideas and solutions.

Dev Meeting

After finishing a large part of the work we conduct team discussions and arrange feedback sessions. Thanks to exchanging opinions and emerging ideas, our developers find truly innovative solutions, improving their personal efficiency and the efficiency of the entire team.

Internal Communication Flow

The process of internal communication is the basis for successful completion of the task. Working on the project, we use the most convenient ways of setting and monitoring tasks. For this project, Trello was chosen, as it is ideal for projects of such complexity and duration. In addition, Skype was used to solve simple issues, which also allows holding short conferences and discussions in real time.

Project Management Methodology

Scrum was chosen as one of the most effective application development methodologies to date. The numerous advantages of this methodology make it effective and convenient. In addition, the use of Scrum increases the productivity of the whole team, allows to easily and quickly identify errors in the work, slipping on time and to eliminate them. Dividing the development process into stages with short periods and daily reports makes the task execution easy and quick. Scrum also managed to prove its efficiency and productivity for performing urgent tasks with short sprints and tight deadlines. It allows not only to accelerate all processes, but also to save the customer’s funds.
