The anatomy of a successful software development process. A UX-first approach to building web and mobile apps.
At RebelDot, we believe that every successful product should start from a Product Discovery Phase. It's the resourceful development phase in which we asses and question the value a certain product promises to bring to the market, defining the users' personas of the web or mobile application and create the user flows and real-life scenarios to validate the digital product. It's our belief that a successful product, should, first and utmost meet a real market need.
Between 3rd–4th of October, a part of our team attended at IMWorld in Bucharest. During the event, amongst the visitors, they spoke with a few of them about our end-to-end software development process. While having these conversations, they realized some important aspects of the current market trends:
‘’ We were surprised to find out how many business owners have difficulties in finding the right software partner for their businesses. When we showed them how we do UX/UI and the concept of Rapid Prototyping we even got replies like: It took me one year to find a company to offer something like that. This was again, besides the positive feedback that we had already received from our clients, a market validation about the value we bring through our digital UX process. ‘’
Among the key takeaways from the event, we noticed that the combination of Agile Development and Lean Startup is something that is driving the market nowadays.
‘’At RebelDot we already have a few years of experience in terms of introducing UX-UI Design as a first step in the development process. Our teams have worked on different types of projects and industry specifics and we already validated the effectiveness of our development methodologies.’’
How is the UX & UI phase part of RebelDot’s end-to-end software development process?
When talking about the RebelDot end-to-end software development process, we are a technical partner that covers all services from tech advisory, gathering specifications, risk assessment, architecture, UX-UI design to prototype, MVP or product development, quality assurance, maintenance and long-term support.
As you can see below, after the initial analysis and specifications gathering, we move directly to UX/UI Design.
Instead of writing hundreds of pages of technical specifications, most of our customers prefer to move into this design stage where they can visualize their future app. Moreover, they can provide their own feedback and also collect and bring in feedback from their future users/clients. At this stage, change is easy to embrace and everything is quick, cost-effective and easily adaptable towards product-market fit.
