Building a custom employee recognition platform in 8 weeks

The challenge

The founders needed a working product for a launch event two months out, with recognition feeds, a reward catalog and admin analytics.

Our solution

  • Scoped a lean MVP and cut anything that did not serve the launch demo.
  • Shipped weekly increments with the founders reviewing every Friday.
  • Built peer-to-peer kudos, points, a reward catalog and Slack notifications.
  • Added an admin dashboard with engagement and budget analytics.
