In our quality application development activities for several industries, we tend to meet two types of customers: practical managers seeking to be involved as much as possible in the development process and more passive clients who do not pose questions to many questions. until their application is complete.
The two types of customers undoubtedly have their merits. But that raises an important issue that could tell you that you are looking for your partnership with an agency to develop your mobile application: If you care about how your application development business works to complete your project?
The answer, of course, is complicated and could be a disappointing wave at first: it depends. Decompose the merits and disadvantages of tightly involving you in the process of application development.
Understand the basics
First, let’s take an easy answer to the central question of this publication: Yes, you should have a basic idea of how your application development business works. By this, we mean that you should understand who will develop your application, timeline and development and test protocols, and whether or not the agency builds software in an agile setting.
Without knowing these basic pillars of application development, you may be unpleasantly surprised by the process, and in the worst-case scenario, end up with an application that does not fulfill its goal. But after having had on the same page for these problems, another important question arises: practice, or hands-off? Here are the implications for each way you can choose.
The practical approach: guiding the process
Above all, close involvement in the development process means that it remains on the right track. As far as we learn about your business, you will always know its situation, needs, and goals better than ever. We will approach if possible questions that turn into decision points for the application or interface, but you can rationalize the process by participating in the first place.
A practical approach also means being more involved in the test process, which plays a crucial role to ensure that the finished software works as expected. You will be able to test or display test logs and make suggestions that could affect the experience and functionality of users.
The main advantage of the practical approach is that you can make sure that you and you are on the same page every step of the way. The main disadvantage is that you could limit your developer to simply do what you say instead of working with you to find out how to fulfill your goals in the best way possible.
But of course, being tightly involved in the development of applications means investing a significant amount of time and effort in the process. If you can not spend these resources, you can look into the second approach.
The borrowed approach: focus on the results
If you choose not to participate in the development process, you can speed up the time required to complete at least one testable version of the application. We will always ask for comments, both internally and externally and we will keep you involved in major decisions. But prioritizing the major on minor decisions can speed up the process.
In addition, you save valuable time that would be devoted to the participation of developers and account representatives. You are probably looking for your application to improve the efficiency and efficiency of businesses, and some of these benefits can be lost if you have to spend time daily to reflect on the decisions to be taken in the application development process.
Of course, we will be happy to work with you regardless of the approach you choose. In the end, our goal is to give you the best possible applications for your needs. We understand that the achievement of this goal may need more participation on the customer side for some projects than for others. Nevertheless, knowing where you stand before entering the project can help you define expectations and ensure a productive work relationship with your application development company.
