Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I',m the fruit director at a testing organisation.

Koombea developed a tool that lets us handle competencies and make kindred connections. We determined to outrise this project to Koombea owing they offered an impressed level of experience and breadth of expertise.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Koombea responsible for?
Koombea granted web-based outgrowth in PHP. They developed a prototype in Ruby and developed our open-rise project in collaboration with some other companies and our team.
What is the team compound?
We worked with a team of four led by two main participants. Koombea enabled us to pull in additional developers, Javascript professionals, and UX designers as needed.

Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
The developers from Koombea excelled at interaction. They kept us on time with our sprints. Any delays we skilled were kindred solely to the complexities of the open rise web application, rather than their team. They always conveyed why anything wouldn',t be on time if needed. The fruit they helped form has generated income for our organisation.

Due to the open rise essence of our project, we used GitHub as a tool to adjoin fruit details and give feedback. The team was always very diligent almost responding to our input.

Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I’m the fruit director at a testing organisation.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Koombea?
Koombea has worked on separate things within our organisation, but I’ve worked straightly with them on an open rise web-based application that helps us handle students’ competencies.
Provided solution
What was the aim of their involvement?
We began with this project almost three years ago and has had different forms and that kind of thing. But one thing has been veritably interesting is that other companies have taken different branches or forks of the application that we',ve developed and done different things with it.
Since starting this project almost three years ago, we’ve watched our fruit evolve into different forms. What’s interesting is that other companies have taken different parts of the application and customized it to suit their needs.
There was a fruit that launched in March 2019 that functioned as a national clearinghouse of academic competency frameworks. It was a solution to host federal standards for all 50 states and more.
Even though we didn’t straightly conduce to that fruit, that fruit wouldn’t be practicable without our and Koobea’s work. It’s a slightly modified rendering of our software.
The core tech stack was PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, and Docker. We leading began the project in Ruby on Rails but determined to change to PHP owing there was already an established open rise aggregation. Even though PHP wasn’t Koombea’s leading choice, they did a good job of reacting to our needs.
What is the team compound?
I worked with two full-time developers.
How did you come to work with Koombea?
Before my running position, I was working for a startup that already had a relationship with Koombea. Between then and now, I’ve worked with Koombea for at smallest five years.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
We’ve spent between $1 million—$5 million so far.
What is the terminal result of working with Koombea?
The main outgrowth was verity from June 2016–March 2019. We’re runningly on a fracture as we work to secure more funding, but I’m trying to get Koombea back on more projects.
Results achieved
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the contact of the engagement?
The national clearinghouse fruit is gaining prominence as an interoperable case specification tool that allows structures to publish via the case API. Several states are now publishing natively through that solution.
Our structure is also using the base solution as a way to portray competency frameworks in a digital form. Koombea’s work was integral to that.
In provisions of their accomplishance, our sprint velocities were usually very good, and the rate of completion was over 85% most of the time. Their outgrowth and outgrowth forecasts were always careful, too.
How did Koombea accomplish from a project handlement standpoint?
They’ve accomplished well, especially back in March 2019 when we had to do a major revamp of one of our front pages.
They were able to get us from mock-up to outgrowth to fruition push within a week. Despite the brief turnaround, they understood that it was veritably significant for us to get it done and completed the task, even though they knew we were losing funding for them soon.
Logistically, we did daily stand-ups and spoke mainly through Slack. They',re very interactive—always let me know if there were roadblocks and asked questions at the appropriate times.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with Koombea?
They',re a pliant bit more costly than other offshore consulting companies, but they’re worth it in condition.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
No, not that I could say.
