period of three months using the agile software model; long term goalswere defined in bi-monthly milestones while short term goals weredefined to include bug fixes; small feature enhancements identified bythe Exist QA team are released as short-term releases

After the release of the initial prototype and having proved that the ideaworked, Exist started a long-term development engagement with the

customer building out the additional functions that the customer hadenvisaged

The completed sports social networking platform provided componentsthat included a community platform (blogging, forums, usermanagement, groups, etc), team management and communication, clubsmanagement, competition management and numerous small features

Results

Initial launch of the social networking platform enabled 3eep to raisefunding for further development of the sports community service
