Project Summary

Q agency is redeveloping a virtual race fan engagement platform (Stepathlon), delivering iOS and Android mobile apps, multiple web apps, and an API-based backend with integrations for SSO, CMS, CRM and CDP. The engagement began with a discovery phase that produced detailed requirements, technical proofs of concept, timelines, and budget estimates. The team is augmenting the client's product efforts and delivering the product iteratively while responding quickly to resource needs.

Key Challenges

  • Define detailed requirements for the new platform.
  • Augment the client's product team with developers to deliver the new platform.
  • Refine high-level design concepts into developer-ready assets.

Project Deliverables

  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android
  • Management web app for clients and races
  • Embeddable web app for integration into native apps
  • API-based backend with SSO, CMS, CRM and CDP integrations
  • Detailed requirements, technical POCs and project timelines

Project Solution

Q agency led a discovery phase to define detailed requirements, produce technical proofs of concept, and estimate timelines and budget. They provided team augmentation (2-5 employees) to the client's product team and are redeveloping the entire platform: building native mobile apps for iOS and Android that integrate with 40+ fitness trackers, multiple web applications for management and embedding, and an API-based backend that exposes services and integrates with third-party SSO, CMS, CRM and CDP platforms. Work is being delivered iteratively with ongoing collaboration and resource scaling as needed.

Project Outcome

  • The discovery phase produced detailed requirements, technical proofs of concept, and project timeline and budget requirements.
  • The project is delivering iteratively across the API platform, management web app, and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
  • The vendor provided dedicated project management during discovery and supported rapid team augmentation to address bottlenecks.
