Social Media Network Web & Mobile App Development

Context

Our client, inquireaboutme (i.am), is a social networking startup that offers a free way to share your professional and personal references, by letting people speak on your behalf as a form of review. The platform allows users to put a face with the name, and actually see and hear what others say about a person, business, university, or organization, before finalizing a decision.

Whether the user is applying for a job, membership, college, or highlighting their personal, business, university, or organization achievements; inquireaboutme does the talking for them with videos, pictures, and blogs.

The customer had just an idea that they needed to bring to life. They had a goal to bring the next iteration of their product to an MVP stage, and transform their ideas into a working web and mobile social media app platform with the help of the latest technologies. Therefore, our customer needed a reliable software development partner to define and carry out the product development strategy. Your App Hero became that partner and the customer collaborated with us as they were impressed by our Agile development expertise and track record in software development services.

Process

A dedicated development team within the mixed delivery model was chosen for this project.

Over the four years of collaboration, Your App Hero’s dedicated development center has grown to numerous professionals divided into sub-teams with various responsibilities, such as the backend, frontend, R&D, quality assurance, and more. Each team comprises developers, business analysts, QA engineers, business analyst and project manager. In each team, there’s also a Scrum Master who handles the Scrum-based development.

We opted for the Scrum development methodology with sprints to provide frequent updates to client. We performed on an incremental product build-up with the flexibility necessary to see the contribution of each team member and for an early go-to-market. The Scrum-based project flow and communication is arranged as follows:
