Challenge

Our Client is an experienced film editor and they noticed that there was no service on the market that could "move" a workstation into the cloud to help film teams work more efficiently. And that is exactly the idea they came to us with and asked us to help implement. A big challenge was the pace of the project, the number of changes introduced and their frequency. We worked super-fast and super-agile because the product (at subsequent stages) was constantly shown to users who gave feedback. This generated a lot of changes, which we introduced on an ongoing basis in subsequent software iterations.

Solution

We used Sketch + InVision to create a clickable prototype for fast communication, feedback and making changes. The demo front-end was created in Gatsby.js, thanks to its fast and cheap implementation, and the serverless back-end uses AWS Lambda. The brain of the platform - virtual work environments - was implemented using AWS Workstation. The first step was to create a presentation of the idea so that the client could consult with a sample target audience and collect feedback, primarily related to business. In the last step, a demo was created. Due to the small scope of the project, we went with the Kanban methodology, which was ideal for this purpose. The second phase was to help the client to create a product team, allowing the client to implement the project himself.

Results

We helped our client turn the idea into a real platform with a business background and a working demo that allows us to collect leads. Our quick development of the product demo version allowed the client to start marketing activities (including media presence), collect leads and further optimize conversions. By validating the idea from the business side and preparing a product demo, the client could talk to investors. Finally, we helped the client to assemble his own product team for further work on developing the product. We also supported the onboarding and helped design all the processes.
