In December 2022, we started a collaboration with Zielone Pogotowie, a company renowned for its diverse range of goods and services catering to the world of gardens. Their expertise primarily revolved around crafting gardens and outdoor spaces. But that's not all! In 2014, they ventured into the world of digital content by launching a YouTube channel dedicated to gardening enthusiasts. Following this success, they introduced the mobile app - Plantis, which has become arguably the most prominent of its kind in Poland. Garnering over 100,000 downloads on Google Play and amassing an impressive YouTube following of more than 440,000 subscribers, Zielone Pogotowie has firmly established itself as a leader in the gardening community.

Unfortunately, the app didn't initially perform as expected. Moreover, the owners didn't have a positive experience with their previous software houses. Before approaching us, they had collaborated with two other companies in the past. So, what went wrong in those cases, and how did we address these issues?

Difficulties: 

1. Lack of documentation to smoothly enter the development process without unnecessary downtime for the client.
2. Technological differences. 
3. Ensuring work continuity. 
4. Understanding business goals and roadmaps to support client work as a team.

Solution: Taking over a project without documentation is a challenge, but we have strategies in place. We began with an initial code assessment, closely collaborating with the client to understand their goals and project issues. We conducted manual tests and, using the Scrum methodology, maintained regular client contact. As we progressed, we documented architecture, data models, and dependencies. 

Outcome: 

1. Reduced development costs by 20%.
2. Ensured the absence of downtime in the development process.
3. Created technical documentation.
