Motivation
People increasingly need drones for single-use cases: events, photography, quick inspections, or emergencies, but buying a drone is too expensive and impractical. Users struggle to find a simple, transparent way to rent a drone for one day or get their device repaired without long waits, unclear pricing, or technical complexity. The customer wanted to remove these pains by creating a platform that makes renting, repairing, or ordering drones as easy as booking a taxi: fast, intuitive, and accessible even for non-technical users.
Main challenges
Challenge 01
Inherited Low-Quality Codebase
The previous development team left behind an inconsistent, partially broken codebase with no documentation. This created a major pain point for the client: development was stalled, features couldn’t be shipped, and bugs kept reappearing. Before adding anything new, our team had to stabilize the platform and restore trust in the product.
#1
Challenge 02
Unclear Requirements and Missing Knowledge Transfer
Since Azati joined mid-project, the client lacked structured requirements and a clear product vision documented anywhere. As a result, our engineers had to reconstruct missing knowledge, clarify business logic, and align processes from scratch, all while keeping the project moving forward.
#2
Our approach
Deep Audit of Existing Code
Before development, our engineers conducted a full audit to understand the inherited architecture, identify critical issues, and map out missing documentation. This helped stabilize the product and create a clean foundation for further development.
Agile Delivery with Short Iterations
We organized the process using weekly sprints with stable planning, demos, and backlog refinement. This enabled the client to regain visibility into progress, influence priorities, and validate functionality as it was delivered.
High-Confidence QA Pipeline
We introduced structured testing routines: functional tests, regression checks, UI/UX validation to ensure that new features didn’t break existing workflows and the platform remained stable despite legacy code challenges.
Transparent Communication and Requirement Refinement
Since documentation was missing, we collaborated closely with the customer to refine requirements, clarify use cases, and align expectations. Frequent communication helped transform vague ideas into clear, technically feasible features.
