They own the source code, develop new features, fix bugs, and perform biweekly deployments while enforcing agile processes. The client praises their thoroughness, communication, and project management compared with prior developers.

Project Solution

  • Regular biweekly deployments delivering fixes and enhancements
  • Strong communication and agile processes with daily stand-ups and clear ticketing via Jira/Hipchat/Bitbucket
