Project Summary

Yellow collaborated with the client's in-house developers and UX designer to build an iPhone app for a social activity-tracking platform (Racefully), and also provided quality-assurance support. The vendor integrated with the client's team to develop both the front and back end, responded to user feedback after launch, and participated in code reviews. The client reported satisfaction with the team's responsiveness and technical quality.

Key Challenges

Bring the app to market as quickly as possible
Deliver a fully-featured product to compete with multiple activity trackers
Increase development capacity to meet the launch target and respond to post-launch market feedback

Project Deliverables

iPhone app
Frontend and backend of the app
Quality assurance and testing
Implementation of provided UX design

Project Solution

Yellow collaborated with the client's in-house developers and UX designer to develop an iPhone app. They were hired to help develop the app and implement the design rather than fully outsource the project, and they incorporated the in-house team into their workflow to build both the front and backend. Yellow's primary responsibilities also included quality assurance, and they worked alongside two client managers during the engagement.

Project Outcome

Vendor responded to user feedback and fixed bugs in the year after launch.
Integrated well with the client team and participated in code reviews to improve code quality.
Client was pleased with the engagement and would rehire Yellow for development services.
