Project Summary
Darwoft provided staff augmentation for a Buenos Aires–based digital wallet startup, managing the backend and contributing to the mobile app using Google Cloud and JavaScript. They integrated quickly with the client team, assisted with Scrum practices and metrics, and helped relieve a heavy internal workload. The client reported rapid onboarding and overall satisfaction with the engagement.
Key Challenges
- Need to add a developer to manage the backend and mobile app
- Require staff augmentation to handle a heavy workload and integrate with existing teams
Project Deliverables
- Backend management and updates
- Mobile app maintenance and updates
- Staff augmentation (one developer, up to three resources)
Project Solution
Darwoft supplied development resources to manage the backend and the mobile app, using Google Cloud and JavaScript. The engagement included one dedicated developer and, at times, up to three augmented resources. The team worked in-house with the client, participated in Scrum processes, proposed useful metrics, and provided templates to improve project management. The client paid on a monthly basis (~$3,500–$4,000 per month).
Project Outcome
- The team relieved a very heavy workload and came up to speed faster than expected
- The product and processes worked as desired while Darwoft resources were on the team
- When a resource left, Darwoft provided a quick replacement, minimizing downtime
- The client had a very positive experience and would work with them again
