(синяя звезда) What issues we were facing at the beginning?

  1. Support was handled by each PM, after their projects went Live.

  2. Lack of information from our Partner Oneline in order for correct estimation

  3. PM, communication, environment creation hours were not charged, which brought to lack of incoming funds

  4. Lack of reports for our Partner Oneline

  5. Estimation and planning was not unified

    1. Requirements for Frontend – Oneline has to provide us with mockups with description of the look, how it looks, different statuses of the pages, scrolling, menus.
      Description of the blocks, especially repeated blocks and on what pages.

    2. Requirements for Backend – Oneline has to describe if we are creating a new website or rebuilding an old one by making a transfer of the structure.

      We are to offer what plugins to use, based on our experience and research. Best to offer a couple of plugins in order for the customer to choose.
      We are also to say if it is better to build a function, or use a plugin.

    3. Full description about the hosting, server, php version, etc. are to be provided by the customer. Specifically, tech requirements of the hosting.

    4. Require Critical business value, monetisation, business logic of the Future project. In this case we would have a much better understanding.

    6. Hosting requirements

    7. Agreement to have Workshops once a month, once in 2 months.

  3. Work of project managers, along with communication of the team and environment creation is now being tracked into separate tasks and customer charged
