Project Summary

Sunflower Lab is building a modular web application with multimedia support and SMS/email user verification that is intended to be converted into a mobile app. The vendor follows an agile/scrum process with daily standups and Jira-based tracking and has been flexible about scope and budget changes. The client has been satisfied overall, though early division of work delayed testing until six weeks into the engagement.

Key Challenges

Needed staff augmentation because in-house contract developers were unavailable or problematic
Deliver time-sensitive software under resource constraints

Project Deliverables

Web application
SMS and email user verification
Multimedia / video integration
Scalability and modular architecture
AWS-deployable multi-server setup

Project Solution

Sunflower Lab developed a web application from scratch with a modular architecture intended to be propagated to mobile platforms later. The team implemented PHP and SQL back-end components alongside MEAN-stack front-end elements (excluding MongoDB), integrated SMS and email user verification, added multimedia/video support, and built scalability features to allow deployment across multiple AWS servers. A project manager oversees developers whose numbers vary by phase.

Project Outcome

Client satisfied with Sunflower Lab's work and reports only minor issues
Agile delivery with Jira tracking and daily 15-minute calls improved transparency
Vendor provided flexibility to change requirements and adjust budget

Quality of Deliverables

“Sunflower Lab expertly executes a scrum process and maintains constant communication, easily adapting to scope and budget changes. The sales team didn’t go into enough detail on the project scope at the beginning, which led to renegotiations down the road, but the overall engagement has been great.”
