Services Provided

• Celteeka has been Balance's technology partner since March 2023 after class CS324 was done with the project.
• We held bi-weekly design and discovery meetings until we had a clear understanding of the features. Once we had a common understanding we proceeded with task creation using Github Issues and then internal poker planning sessions to estimate level of effort (LoE).
• After each 2-week iteration we demoed with Product what we had accomplished, gathered early feedback, and realigned priorities.
• Below is the list of services that were offered in order to succeed:
• Software architecture
• Software development
• Project Management
• Software delivery
