Project Summary

ClixLogix is developing a mobile app for an outdoor products startup, intended to ship within four months originally. The project includes mobile apps integrated with a backend and a hardware device, but development extended far beyond the initial estimate and the teams experienced organizational challenges. The client migrated the vendor to the client's project management tool and now communicates mainly with vendor developers.

Key Challenges

Deliver the mobile app within a four-month timeline.
Develop a mobile app that integrates with the backend and a hardware device.
Clarify and understand scope up front to avoid prolonged development.

Project Deliverables

Mobile iOS app
Mobile Android app
Backend integration with hardware device

Project Solution

The vendor was selected for providing a conservative, longer forecast of effort. They are building mobile applications to accompany the customer's backend and hardware device. The engagement included one iOS and one Android developer from the vendor.

Project Outcome

Project extended from an expected 4 months to approximately 20 months due to complications and inefficiencies.
The client migrated project management to their own tools and now interacts primarily with vendor developers.
Communication shifted toward developer-level contact with limited management interaction.

Quality of Deliverables

“ClixLogix continues to work on the app and is now almost 20 months of development, with both teams' disorganization. The team is now using the client's project management tool, having direct contact with their developers and minimal interaction with their management team.”
