Project Summary

Opinov8 collaborated with the client to design wireframes and develop 2,500 user stories, then built native iOS and Android apps plus two in-app portals and a custom web portal. The backend was implemented using a .NET-based microservices architecture and container environment to support scalability. The MVP launched successfully with immediate user sign-ups and has since grown to over 1,000 users with relatively few, low-level issue reports. The engagement began in March 2017 and is ongoing under an Agile delivery model.

Key Challenges

  • Build the product from scratch, starting by understanding why the software was being created.
  • Rapidly deliver an MVP while managing technical debt inherent to fast delivery.

Project Deliverables

  • Wireframes and 2,500 user stories
  • Native iOS and Android mobile apps
  • Two in-app portals and a custom web portal
  • Backend services and APIs built on a .NET-based microservices architecture

Project Solution

The vendor helped design wireframes and authored 2,500 user stories, then developed two native mobile apps (iOS and Android), two in-app portals and a custom web portal. They implemented backend services and APIs on a .NET-based microservices architecture and deployed in a containerized environment, delivering an initial MVP quickly and continuing iterative feature development in two-week Agile releases.

Project Outcome

  • The MVP launched successfully with immediate sign-ups and next-day usage.
  • The product gained over 1,000 users with fewer than 100 issue emails, mostly low-level problems.
  • The team established a regular two-week Agile release cadence and demonstrated strong staff retention and delivery quality.
