Ilioa Music – Smart, Tailored Music Streaming for Businesses
Ilioa Music aims to offer businesses affordable, royalty-free music with streamlined management. However, the platform struggled with operational inefficiencies, slow feature delivery, and misaligned priorities between stakeholders and the development team, leading to high costs and delays.
The Challenge
May 4, 2021
Ilioa Music promised business clients a hassle-free way to stream royalty-free music. Operational inefficiencies, slow feature rollouts, and mounting costs held the platform back from meeting user demands or scaling effectively. Stakeholders found it difficult to pinpoint priorities, and the absence of a clear roadmap led to repeated delays, ballooning expenses, and waning investor confidence.
"Working with Tayeb transformed our operations. His agile approach, structured prioritization, and clear roadmaps dramatically cut our costs and sped up our development cycle. Ilioa Music is now more efficient and ready to lead in the competitive music streaming space."
– David
CEO, Ilioa Music
The Research
A detailed review of Ilioa’s tech infrastructure and team processes showed scattered feature requests that weren’t anchored by measurable business goals. The existing development cycle lacked iterative feedback loops, so small issues often grew into bigger problems. Key features, such as curated playlists and advanced analytics, remained in limbo because no one could decisively rank them in terms of impact.
The Solution
Serving as Fractional CTO, Taieb introduced agile frameworks and structured prioritization methods like RICE and MoSCoW to align features with Ilioa Music’s most pressing objectives. Transparency improved when roadmaps were made available to everyone, setting realistic release timelines and outlining deliverables. Automated monitoring and continuous integration were incorporated to catch and address issues faster. This data-driven approach not only reduced operational costs but allowed Ilioa to add or refine features at a pace that matched market needs.
