Project Summary

A Bay Area startup engaged Neoteric to define requirements and build the frontend for a prototype used to collect user feedback. Neoteric provided a Scrum-run engagement with a project manager and developers working in weekly sprints to deliver a React-based interactive prototype. The prototype was completed on time and within budget and served as the first iteration of production code.

Key Challenges

Build a demo-ready prototype for user feedback sessions
Require specialized frontend developers on a tight budget
Deliver a usable interactive experience from mockups within a short timeframe

Project Deliverables

Frontend portion of a prototype
Interactive UI implemented from mockups (React)
Prototype suitable as a first iteration of production code

The team communicated via Slack and Hangouts and managed project tasks in Taiga.
