Project Description
SkyTrak requires the software layer to give end-users the ability to use the SkyTrak launch monitor properly. The client has a network of existing partners that use their own software solutions together with the SkyTrak launch monitor. But SkyTrak decides to implement its own solution as well.

The core idea is to give users the best possible experience while training golf skills using the SkyTrak launch monitor.

Challenges
Visartech started the development process, not from the ground. SkyTrak already had the first version of its software and it was released to end-users on the market.

The main challenges were:

Understand the golf game and its rules for the development team;
Learn existing software architecture;
Clarify current problems;
Re-shape the entire solution based on the client’s vision without ruining end-users experience;

Gather a vast amount of end-users generated shots data and present it back to users as a set of charts and tables, that can help them in the training process.

Development Process
From the very beginning, Visartech started using Agile methodology. The solid approach supported with specialized software like JIRA and Slack helped to improve release pace and stabilize the delivery process.
