Avenue – Yojji Partnership
Initial request
Avenue is a progressive company providing various career development programs for employees in different industries. The client reached out to us with the request to develop a special service designed for big companies with a large number of employees. The service was supposed to provide the employees of a particular company with functionality allowing them to record the areas they would like to develop within as specialists.
As well as that, the service should help users achieve the goals they set. For this purpose, the service needed to be equipped with a special platform for scheduling thematic lectures. The platform had to inform the employees about new events in advance, give reminders, and then collect feedback on the lecture from everyone who attended it.
Our Approach
Agile principles
Our team chose Scrum with two-week sprints as a collaboration model. All the work and communication with the client’s team was carried out by our Project Manager. Thanks to this approach we managed to address all issues quickly and efficiently. After the MVP was launched, we rolled out releases every two weeks. After each release, our team discussed new requests, features, and revisions with the client. Thanks to coherent and effective communication, our team excelled with the given task showing a great level of productivity.
Challenges and solutions
The main challenge for us was related to the very tight deadlines of the project.
Thanks to the right approach in work organization and time management, we managed to build the most fitting team for the project and create an MVP in two months.
Another challenge we stumbled upon was the necessity of making the service multilingual.
Since the service needed to be available in different countries, it had to support multiple languages. To make that happen, we integrated Lokalise API that provided automatic page translation. Also, we added functionality to add and remove languages. On top of that, we made it possible to add, change, and update content without developers.
There also were some problems connected with the request for adding new functionality. At a certain stage of the service development process, the client decided to add a new feature that hadn’t been discussed previously.
Even though it was an unforeseen situation, our team could reallocate resources competently and managed to add new functionality to the service without shifting the development timeline.
