Project Summary
Distillery developed an on-demand video streaming solution for web and iOS, performed QA testing, and resolved discovered bugs. The client praised access to exceptional design and technical talent, though noted that communications (faster channels) could be improved.
Key Challenges
- Avoid being steered toward unwanted development approaches or vendor-preferred stacks
- Find a development partner with the right talent fit and reputation
- Lack of in-house developers required outsourcing full development to the vendor
Project Deliverables
- iOS application
- Web platform
- QA and bug fixes
- UI/UX design deliverables
Project Solution
Distillery designed and built the client's video platform for iOS and the web, reworking prior rushed work and delivering a higher-quality final product. They handled full development (no in-house developers on the client side), ran two-week sprints with milestone reviews, staffed product managers, UX/UI designers, a full-stack developer and backend developers (some offshore), and provided ongoing bug fixes and QA.
Project Outcome
- Delivered a higher-quality final product than the client's previous vendor
- Resolved project-management issues by replacing an underperforming project manager, after which the engagement ran smoothly
- Provided talented in-house teams that produced professional deliverables and surprised the client with recommended decisions
