We turned Groovybox from concept to delivery!
Project's challenges
After 1.5 years exploring Groovybox, the Sensorix team lacked the right data and vision to progress into actual product development.
There was ambiguity about the intended target market which hindered feature alignment and marketing strategies.
The team was unsure about the product's viability in the market, leading to doubts about its potential success.
Throughout the project, the team faced ownership, responsibility, deadline, and prioritization hurdles.
The project had not undergone a thorough risk assessment. This lack of foresight left the project vulnerable to unforeseen roadblocks.
The project did not have a set timeline for product shipping, adding to the overall ambiguity and lack of structure.
Studying our competition closely, we found smart ways to stand out.
