There are numerous competing one-way interviewing web applications available, so focusing on features that solve the major issue of saving users time was vital in having a conceivably successful product. I believe that The 1 has excellent potential to help applicants and recruiters find a way to complete their process easily and efficiently.
Working with the team was an enjoyable experience. To manage our project deliverables we began our meetings doing the SCRUM method, which emphasized teamwork, accountability, and iterated progress toward our project goals. We found this framework very useful as it kept us on track during tight deadlines.
