The Key to a Successful Custom Software Development
In experts’ opinion thorough conceptualization at the initial stage makes custom software development well-positioned for success. However, another crucial factor that makes or breaks a software project is the level of collaboration between the client and the software development team.
According to a report by Tech Web –
‘Around 45% of software projects collapse during the course of development due to disharmony between the client and the developers.’
To ensure that your software project does not turns out to be a mammoth disaster, you need to emphasize upon strong and smooth collaboration with your software developer. And that can only happen when you choose the right custom application development team that understands your software requirement and communicates with you throughout the development process.
Choosing the right software developer
Before you jump onto examining the credibility of the software developers, ask yourself –
- Do you have a clear understanding of your software needs?
- What purpose do you want your solution to serve?
The answers to these questions should come immediately to your mind. In case of a slightest of doubt, do not panic. Simply find your answers to the below-mentioned questions:
- Who will be the users?
- What value will the software add?
- What type of high-level features will be required?
Once, you build a precise understanding of your software users and business needs – start with your initial strategy discussions with different software developers.
While discussing with several custom software development companies – it can be obvious to get attracted to those who make the tallest claims. However, it is not the right approach. That is because most often these developers over promise beyond what they can deliver. Placing your bets on them can only lead you to a soup later. So beware!
Use the trick of MVP development
MVP software development is a lot like litmus test. Every custom software development company claims to do it but each has a unique approach. And that is precisely what spells the difference between the good software developers and the fluff ones. So talk about MVP software development with different companies. See what each has to say. Interestingly you will find that the fluff ones will run through your requirement and be more concerned towards the deal closure. As obvious – their objective will be to get the cash registers rolling.
However, on the contrary, the best software developers will prioritize upon a detailed understanding of your MVP needs and priorities. They will ask about the value of the project from the users’ perspective. Based upon which, they will list the features that will be required to build, to achieve your desired behavior and actions.
They will simply not call your MVP as a “good idea” and get on with the price negotiation. Rather they will analyze each feature, weigh the benefits or challenges and point out the costly pitfalls. And most importantly, it is these software development companies who will keep you in the loop right from the start-to-the-end of the development.
So use the MVP trick as the tell-tale sign and select a software development team that emphasizes upon understanding your business objectives and promises to collaborate with you throughout the development cycle.
