The problem BuddyTrail solves

BuddyTrail addresses the common challenges faced by travelers in planning and organizing trips. Many travelers find it overwhelming to research multiple destinations, sift through various sources for reliable information, and piece together an itinerary that meets their needs. The process of finding accurate and comprehensive details about destinations, accommodations, and activities can be time-consuming and confusing, especially when dealing with unfamiliar places. BuddyTrail simplifies this by providing a centralized platform with interactive maps and curated travel information, allowing users to explore popular destinations in India and abroad easily. By offering a personalized browsing experience and customizable journey planning tools, BuddyTrail reduces the hassle of travel planning, making it more efficient and enjoyable.

Challenges we ran into

One of the significant challenges we faced while building BuddyTrail was managing time effectively. With a vast amount of information to curate and features to implement, staying on schedule was a constant hurdle. We had to balance between ensuring the quality of the data provided and developing an intuitive user interface, all within a tight timeline.

To overcome this challenge, we adopted agile project management techniques. We broke down the development process into smaller, manageable tasks and set clear priorities for each sprint. This approach allowed us to focus on delivering essential features first while progressively adding more complex functionalities. Regular team check-ins and timeboxing tasks helped us stay aligned and meet our deadlines without compromising on quality. Additionally, using collaborative tools for real-time updates and clear communication ensured that everyone was on the same page, making the development process smoother and more efficient.
