Project Summary

Sigma Software built an MVP social-network mobile app for an education-technology client to replace reliance on Facebook groups, delivering iOS and Android apps and an Elixir backend. The vendor supplied development, DevOps and project management resources while the client retained UI/UX design. The ongoing engagement has met the internal team's needs, with reliable sprint-based deliveries and creative contributions despite some project-management friction.

Key Challenges

  • Replace reliance on Facebook groups for community-based learning
  • Address customer dissatisfaction with Facebook as the community platform
  • Build an in-house social platform with feature parity to mainstream social platforms

Project Deliverables

  • iOS mobile app
  • Android mobile app
  • Elixir-based backend
  • MVP social network features (posts, comments, events, friend management)
  • Sprint-based deliverables and project management

Project Solution

Sigma Software was contracted to build an MVP social-network mobile app and provided project management plus development teams for Android, iOS and backend. The vendor implemented the backend from scratch using Elixir per the client's requirement, delivered mobile clients with core social features (posts, comments, events, friend management), and supported sprint-based delivery alongside the client's in-house UI/UX designers. The team included developers, QA, a project manager, DevOps, and solution architecture support as needed.

Project Outcome

  • Sigma Software reliably delivered agreed sprint deliverables
  • Improved predictability over the engagement period (noted over the last one and a half years)
  • Brought creative contributions to adapt the social platform for education use cases
  • Ongoing engagement meeting the internal team's needs and expectations
