Project Summary

Mbicycle provided staff augmentation to support development and maintenance of a media streaming app using Scrum. Their team (20+ engineers) handled mobile app development, UI/UX design, core content services, search and real-time updates, and integrations with Google services such as Android TV features and Google Assistant. The vendor completed tasks in a timely manner, communicated effectively through a project manager and daily sessions, and earned positive feedback from internal stakeholders.

Key Challenges

  • Large volume of development and maintenance tasks for a media streaming product
  • Need to rapidly augment the development department to handle workload
  • Requirement for engineers across skill levels (middle to senior) to cover varied tasks

Project Deliverables

  • Mobile Android TV app
  • UI/UX design for the branded mobile app
  • Core services for content storage and processing
  • Search and real-time updates for media and user preferences
  • Integration with Google services (home screen recommendations, Google Assistant, remote control)
  • Personalization and accessibility features (audio navigation, font size and color temperature adjustments)

Project Solution

Mbicycle was selected after RFPs, CV reviews and case study evaluation; they ran an onboarding/setup phase prior to starting work. The engagement followed Scrum with daily sessions, backlog reviews and sprint planning. Mbicycle supplied engineers who were split between mobile app development and UI/UX tasks. The team implemented core services for content storage and processing, search and real-time updates for media and user preferences, integrated Google services (Android TV home screen recommendations, Google Assistant, remote control), and added personalization and accessibility features such as audio navigation and adjustable font and color temperature. Recruitment included a discovery/setup phase and interviews with Mbicycle engineers, the hiring company, and representatives of the main client.
