Project Summary

Omega-R developed an iOS MVP for fitness instructors that integrates with Spotify to enable curated music playlists and class creation workflows. The working MVP went into beta and received positive stakeholder feedback; the team ran sprints and stayed near budget while adapting to evolving specifications. The product remains in development with additional local hires supporting further work.

Quality of Deliverables

“Still in beta, the working MVP has received positive feedback from key stakeholders. While overall progress and communication were less than ideal, Omega-R kept the project moving and on budget. Their ability to adapt to evolving specifications helped make their code relatively bug-free.”
