UX/UI Design & Mobile App Dev for Software Dev Company

RESULTS AND FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We have a very good relationship and working process with Leanware. We work in very quick sprints where we try to build, break, and fix things fast and evolve quickly, and Leanware has been very accommodating with that way of working.

Our company is still in startup mode, and we haven’t launched the platform into production, so we don’t have solid metrics on the engagement’s impact yet. The most significant success we’ve accomplished with Leanware is having a functional automated trading platform that we continue to evolve.

Moreover, we enjoy working with Leanware’s team. Although none of their developers had previous experience building a trading platform, they’ve been able to understand the concept and business logic over time despite the challenges.

How did Leanware perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been accommodating in helping us iterate very quickly in sprints. The product is unlike anything they’ve built before, so we’re learning from trying things and redoing them together, adjusting our processes as we go.

Additionally, Leanware has been very flexible in adapting to our way of working. For example, Leanware initially provided a dedicated project manager. Then, we determined we should handle the project management, and Leanware accommodated us. Now, we have direct contact with the developers, who feel like in-house teammates.

Leanware is very organized, providing reports on the hours they’ve worked. We communicate through phone calls three times a week to discuss the project’s progress. We also use Slack almost every day to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Leanware’s ability to adapt to our methodology is their biggest strength. Many software development firms are very rigid in how they work with clients. Our company is very unique in that we’re still figuring out how to work. Therefore, having a flexible partner that can change direction quickly has been very helpful. Leanware doesn’t only develop quality products; they’ve become a part of our organization.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We haven’t had any major complaints about their work in a long time. The most significant issue we’ve had has been when the junior developers need more guidance when they start, but that’s to be expected.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’ve gotten to know Leanware’s director personally, and they approach their clients similarly. The team is very open and doesn’t leave anything off the table. Therefore, I recommend treating Leanware as a true partner; be open about your business goals. An engagement with Leanware isn’t just about developing software but about them understanding the business side of your company — and they’re very good at that.
