Project Summary

Selleo developed a web application for a U.S.-based community and social organization, planning and setting up architecture and handling DevOps. The client says Selleo rescued a failing project, helped pivot during the pandemic, and provided strong leadership and regular communication. The engagement remains ongoing with frequent check-ins and use of Pivotal Tracker for progress tracking.

Project Solution

Selleo was selected after interviewing multiple Polish and Ukrainian Rails firms. They planned the project, set up the application architecture, developed the web site/app, and performed DevOps work. The vendor staffed the engagement with a lead developer, three other Rails developers, and a designer/frontend developer and supported launch and ongoing development.

Project Outcome

Ongoing project with markedly improved progress compared to the previous vendor
Regular communication and effective project management via weekly meetings and Slack
