Results & Feedback
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
Our dotcom property project was languishing for a prolonged period of time. As a company focused on delivering new and innovative features into our platform, the dot-com project kept on slipping down the backlog.

Project management was all carried out through email and scheduled video calls.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Organisation. KindGeek is a very organized team.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Whilst the engagement was very positive, a small improvement could be made on requirements scoping. There were parts where the scope was ambiguous and this led to small bumps. Kindgeek demonstrated solid recovery from these bumps.
