Quality of Deliverables

RESULTS & FEEDBACK Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? The Android app is stable, thanks to extensive testing, and nearly identical to the iOS version How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? I took on the project manager role, communicating with the developers daily and assigning them tasks. They delivered a new version of the app at the end of each day, along with a summary of what they'd accomplished. What did you find most impressive about this company? The quality and professionalism of the app were outstanding. They kept their code clean and well-documented. Their clear communication enabled us to work quickly and avoid miscommunications. Are there any areas for improvement? Initially, we had a lot of issues surrounding bugs and crashes. They could improve their testing.
