When engaging with a contractor, you need to think long-term. Not only about someone who will create an MVP for you, but about someone who will commit to the long-term building of the product. A contractor who understands users will increase contextual knowledge and thus create greater synergy with you.
Discover the product and verify as many hypotheses as possible before even a line of code is created. Simple tests and experiments can save developers months of work, which will translate into saved time, money and faster deployment of a verified product.
In order to generate value, your product needs an appropriate context of operation. You have to fit many variables perfectly, incl. recipients, value exchange, positioning in relation to competition, price policy and distribution.
Creating a product is a one-time project - be ready for a marathon. The approach of discovery, taking small steps and quick turns of decisions should accompany you throughout the life of the product.
First, don't pursue your idea. It may sound strange, but creating a digital product is not the realization of your ideas, but the way to find the best solution to your user's problem.
In the history of our activity it has happened many times that a client left us with a product that was completely different than the idea with which he came. When we focused on the goal, the user and engaged a cross-functional team to solve it, it turned out that it was possible to do a cheaper and more optimal solution to the problem.
Therefore, we adhere to the principle that, first of all, you should properly define the target group, check whether their problem is appropriately significant and define the value proposition - only having these elements verified can they be transformed into a specific product shape, i.e. functionality. Many customers start in reverse which results in a quick budget burnout and product failure.
Your goal and goal of the team you employ should be to build a product in the full sense of the word - that is, not to turn your idea into a working application, but to create something that meets your business goals (most often the goal is to earn).
Experienced product teams, through prototypes, surveys and more advanced methods, are able to test up to 10-20 hypotheses a week. So if in a week you can check something that would take several months to program, you can count savings in tens or hundreds of thousands of zlotys.
This ebook will help you understand the most common mistakes in the initial stages of building digital products, how to assess the contractor's approach and what obstacles to be prepared for.
