Project Summary

ROCKETECH developed a custom JavaScript plug-in to automate routine editing tasks for a video-editing productivity company and provided staff augmentation (senior and junior developers). The vendor managed the project under Scrum with biweekly meetings but hired developers who lacked required experience for the editing-software-specific work. The delivered plug-in functions, but the client reported it did not fully meet requirements, and delivery took longer than planned.

Key Challenges

Develop a plugin to automate tedious video-editing tasks for TV drama projects
Find a development partner to build and staff the plugin project

Project Deliverables

Custom plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro
Recruited senior and junior developers (staff augmentation)
Scrum-based project management with biweekly meetings

Project Solution

ROCKETECH recruited a small development team and developed a custom plug-in to automate repetitive tasks in popular video-editing software (notably Adobe Premiere Pro). The team used JavaScript for the plugin and ran the project with Scrum (biweekly meetings). ROCKETECH also performed talent search/staff-augmentation activities to staff the engagement and extended the scope as needed during development.

Project Outcome

Delivered a working plugin but it did not meet all client requirements
Delivery took three months versus the planned two, increasing client costs and timelines
Client lacks confidence in the product's robustness and may require further testing, refinements, or a different vendor

Quality of Deliverables

“ROCKETECH delivered a functional plug-in that failed to meet the client's expectations. The team recruited software developers who lacked the required experience for this project. ROCKETECH extended the original scope of work and had biweekly Scrum meetings via Google Meet and Zoom.This review includes the vendor’s response.”
