How do we get there? A scalable app, be it mobile or a website. Our goal, from design to release you have an amazing empowering experience and arrive to a Go To Market version of your product for a refined version of your idea you fell in love with. We want to create a partnership as we see your app and its ecosystem flourish in its community.
We need to know what the users are able to do and their goal. Start a list and write in the format "As an x i can do y so that i achieve z"
Development is done in milestones. So we'll agree a priority of actions to be worked on leading up to a milestone. Then at the milestone we decide if we want to release.
Technology is hard and mistakes can happen. What's important is we learn from them and evolve to being even more productive. Welcome to the retrospective.
A key decision for knowing what to prioritise is the budget for this app. I want to work with you to land on the most optimal app for your moneys worth. This means removing certain user actions or adding less complicated workarounds for features.
So we get to the end of the journey and we've got our beautiful looking app. Well we should go back to the brainstorming! what does the future hold. Doesn't mean we have to develop it now but you need a plan V2, V3 ... to let your app grow.
