A look back at the process of creating Jint for teams

Jint for teams was born from the close collaboration between Jint's product managers, designers and partnership team.

To detect these expectations, our teams conducted interviews with customers, monitored their new uses and needs, and researched new business practices.

The development phase of theJint for teams application followed an iterative process.

Once the concept was decided, it was regularly pitched to our partners, giving birth to successive versions, constantly improved.
