Project Summary

BlueLabel built an iOS and Android mobile app for a life sciences company, covering UI/UX design and full-stack development to give patients access to the client's technology. The vendor produced a prototype and delivered the app in January 2023 after contracting in June 2022. The project was more complex than estimated and missed original deadlines; the app has not launched yet and there are no performance metrics. The team collaborated using Slack, Jira, and Confluence.

Project Solution

BlueLabel produced a prototype and then delivered full UI/UX design plus front-end and back-end development for native iOS and Android apps that allow patients to access the client's technology. The vendor managed end-to-end delivery with a small team (4–5 people, including a product manager) and coordinated via Slack, Jira, and Confluence. The engagement began with discussions in Feb. 2022, a contract in June 2022, and delivery in Jan. 2023.

Quality of Deliverables

“BlueLabel put in a lot of effort and worked hard to deliver a high-quality product. Still, the project ended up being more complicated than originally estimated, so they couldn’t meet the deadlines. The team was strategic and thoughtful, and they used Slack, Jira, and Confluence to collaborate.”
