Quality of Deliverables

Since the project, business revenue has gone up 50%, and Hvantage continues to be the main partner for evolutions. They tackled the project with a “hyper-extreme” Agile approach. Though they were working on new concepts and technology, there’s little to change in retrospect of their methods.
