Getting to know the client

Pictue is a nimble start-up developing a construction photo documentation solution. With the help of Pictue, construction organisations can speed up and standardise the way they take, tag and store pictures and how they collaborate with their partners. Pictue significantly reduces the time spent documenting and reporting construction work.

The challenge

Pictue had an MVP solution developed for both mobile and web use that were not performing to expectation. With many new customers signing up, Pictue were struggling with performance and UX of their solutions and had decided to develop new versions of their offerings. However, as the sales and development teams were busy with their own tasks, neither one was fully aware of what the other one was doing, what the status of the work was and what work to prioritise next.

Riimu’s role

Pictue came to us with two asks, speed up development and help organise and align development efforts. We began by analysing the current situation, understanding where they were as an organisation and what wasn’t working to expectations. Next we facilitated a co-creation session where key people from Pictue came together to define clear goals and priorities for future iterations of the mobile and web solutions. Finally we turned the new priorities into development epics, stories and tasks in Jira and supported Pictue with designing the required views so that developers had clear tasks to work on. As a result we collaborated to improve internal transparency as well as development velocity and quality through clearly documented and prioritised tasks

Comments by the Riimu team

• Working with Picture was a great experience. We had very open and direct communication with their team, which made decision-making quick and flexible. I was able to bring my experience as a front-end developer to the project while also learning valuable new things. I think we all benefited from the agile approach to design and development.

How has it been working with Riimu?

• We approached Riimu because they had the technical skills that we were looking for. With their help we were able to quickly organise and align work efforts and deliver both mobile and web solutions our clients desperately needed. The Riimu team were very professional, flexible and easy to work with and I’m looking forward to working with Riimu again in the future.
