The challenge

Before Tizbi's intervention, the Crumbs team was a classic victim of what we have coined the Software Hostage Situation. In a software hostage situation, the lead programmer of a project causes most of the project's problems, refuses assignments, delays progress, and makes excuses for why the project is not moving forward. Despite the lack of progress, the project budget will grow without any reasonable explanation.

In the specific situation of Crumbs Media, all of these traits were present when Tizbi was asked to intervene. The programmer who had previously been working on the development of this project had provided a flawed code that had holes in its logic and contributed very little to the vision's needs.There are not many options to get out of this situation. Through mutual connections, Ray Williams and the rest of the team at Crumbs were introduced to Tizbi. We offered a solution to this escalating dilemma.

Tizbi Solution

Tizbi developers took over the old code and began changing it for the better. The original code had been written in "raw PHP." It was a strange decision made by the original programmer. Usually, when using PHP, special frameworks are implemented. This decision made for a very inconvenient technology that worked slowly and cost much more than necessary.

New developers were to convert the code from a "raw" form to a helpful PHP that included a framework. When the team finished writing the code, they began implementing the advanced tools envisioned for the website.

Although Tizbi was in a situation where they needed to accomplish more with less money, Crumbs' head was always ready to spend time on the project and help inform our programmers about the music industry.
