New experiences and lessons

• At the beginning of the project, we paid great attention to communication and building trust within the team;
• During the first month, 1-2 members worked co-located with Altibox team on-site for better communication; 
• By taking an outside perspective, we were able to advise not only on technical solutions, but also on measures to optimise business processes;
• By creating trust, we were able to implement the project in the way we felt best –choosing the right technology, platform or tools.
