- 54. Case 1
- 55. • Small team of 4 developers (UX/Frontend, IOS, Android, Backend), PM, QA • Extremely tight schedule (first release in 6 weeks) • Inhouse UX and development, UI outsourced to external agency. Given
- 57. Highlights • Sketch app was used for both wireframing and mockups. • The wireframe .sketch file was a base for mockups and prototype screens. • Wireframes were used to start the development as early as possible, app’s UI was being updated on-the-go • Assets kept both in GIT and Zeplin project, with full access for developers.
- 60. Result • The POC has been delivered in 6 weeks from scratch; • The system built is capable to deliver any changes in extremely short terms, even the complete redesign.
