Challange
What did the client expect?
Research phase
Wide payment technology research focused on specifics of Near East Region countries.
An idea without mock-ups
Created successful vision and product based only on conversations with the client and questions to the point without any mock-ups and prototypes.
Short deadline
Race with exceptional coronavirus circumstances. Making sure the app is ready according to set deadlines and market trends.
Approach
How did we work on the project?
As a first step, we focused on deep research, very specific for the region, and at the same time are compliant with the HIPAA norm - required in the healthcare category.
Due to the short deadline, we decided to use a serverless solution - Firebase, which allowed us to create MVP promptly. The client could go live with the app immediately and test in on the users.
The project was built with the use of a Scrum process, with the addition of a fast-track approach and immediate reaction to feature requests.
Great cooperation of PO and the client allowed to specify the project and project objectives efficiently throughout the whole development process.
Results
What did we achieve?
Clear and efficient cooperation between the PO and the client in the development process led to clear objectives for the whole team.

The telemedicine app was HIPAA ready in 2 months, formed on evolving project specifications.
Created app in MVP shape allowed to move on to the next stages of the product development.
In 2 months from initial conversation to the final product
Working on a client’s vision without the moc-ups. The product has been created according to the timeline.
