OneSpot Software
OneSpot is an early stage, for-profit startup that provides property and facility management software to the commercial real estate industry. When I arrived at OneSpot, it was a pretty typical "feature creep" project born of the waterfall approach to software development - a technology product looking for a business problem to solve. We quickly pivoted to a lean, user-centered approach to R&D leveraging agile (scrum) development. The result was a decisive pivot to an MVP that achieved product-market fit (i.e. paying customers) within six months. We are now beginning to evaluate the product design holistically.
