Challenges

As per the plan the development had started on the Java 7 and TomCat 7. After 2 sprints the ideas started pouring in and we decided to integrate the new feature of Live Drafting.
This new feature was to allow the users to select a unique pool of players to choose a team from. This had to happen in real time so that each user will get a fair chance to pick their pool. And we had to move to Java 8 and TomCat 8 to get the real time socket connections. Agile Scrum model of development allows us to integrate the changes which are as valuable as this.

The Result

Phil and his team partnered with Mindbowser to create a fantasy league website to get the users their money’s worth and an awesome experience of playing and managing their teams.
