Important results from the project
Main purpose of this Project was to develop a new Reader/Player for ScorX Platform for the Choral Community. This is absolutely fulfilled. In good co-operation between ScorX AB - as project owner - the co-owner and original developer Ayond AB and the music/tech-specialists DoReMir AB such a Player/Reader as been developed, with final test during sep/oct and planned launch before Christmas 2015. It will have a high functionality on smartphones and tablets - we have deliberately chosen not to develop a native app.
Expected long term effects
The most important reason for the development in this Project was to get away from Flash - on which the earlier solution was based - and which has been a problem in tablets. Our new technology has also given us other important functions: responsiveness in mobiles/tablets, can also handle midi files (not only audio-/mp3 files as our earlier version), better zoom, better fullscreen-mode, multilanguage support among others. We had received feed-back from users and customers that these improvements was needed
Approach and implementation
The Project has been done in excellent co-operation. Initially ScorX presented the need and present solutions, and a Back-log list was created in a joint area in Scrumwise. The development was divided into one month Sprints, and more detailed divided into tasks, persons and time. In the end of every Sprint a half-day meeting was held - with all involved persons represented - where status was presented, and next Sprint was modified. ScorX has continuously received reports on status time- and cost-wise
