We’re getting closer to the end of 2017!! It’s been a wonderful year for Airship filled with new clients, challenging problems to solve, unique industries, new user categories, and more.

We asked our developers, navigators, & explorers to share some of their favorite software or app development highlights and projects we built this year.  Introducing the Airship 2017 highlight reel! Airship visiting Alabama Outdoors warehouse to see our Quality Control app in action!

1. Alabama Outdoors - Web App & React Native Mobile App

Project Type: We're thankful to have worked on two projects with Alabama Outdoors this year! Basecamp, a web app for employees and stores across various locations, and the Quality Control application that was special-built for a tablet using React Native. Adam Aldrich, President & Co-Founder: "We got to work on a lot of different projects with Alabama Outdoors. It's been a lot of fun helping them grow their E-Commerce platform and internal processes through technology. We overhauled their shipping process to process orders faster and at multiple locations. It was a lot of fun building a new app and redoing the backend and API to handle the changes." Mark Kozlowski, Journeyman Builder: "The Quality Control app for Alabama Outdoors was my all-time favorite project to be a part of. Brit and the AO team were super great to work with. The best part was watching all the pieces fit together and seeing it in action when we visited the warehouse. Knowing I got to be a part of a project that helped them solve a big problem was the best feeling." NEW!

Problem-Statement-Webinar-PDF-no-date

Start with: What problem are you trying to solve? 

One of the activities we work through revolves around refining your problem statement. A problem statement is the key business problem that needs to be solved. In software development, it states “what has to be done” for a project to succeed. It does not say, “how it has to be done.”

We use the 5W’s + 1 H format as well as the SMART Framework when establishing a problem statement. In fact, you can draft your own problem statement by using our free download. This download will get you thinking through some of the questions and answers prior to starting your project.
