ABOUT THE CLIENT

The Problem
The client was looking for a technical partner who specialized in WYSIWYG React native tools. The goal of the project was to create a robust fantasy sports gaming platform with the provision of virtual currency and virtual locations through which users can interact with other players. The client’s idea was to integrate moving parts ranging from real-time scores from the live game to real-time location updates on the map while connecting all the elements to provide a wholesome experience.The development work on the application was spread over a span of twenty weeks on an Agile- based model. The project was based on designs that were provided by the client and the primary requirement was to build up an MVP based on which the development strategy could be planned.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
We believe in offering nothing but the best and Quality Assurance was critical to ensure that the development was proceeding without any major lags. The development phase was split into multiple phases or sprints where features were implemented and rigorously tested to ensure a flawless application. Tasks were broken down and assigned to team members using Jira to ensure that the flow of the development was going as planned.
