There’s an App for That and App Dev Experts Can Help You Conceive and Create It!

July-blog-2016-App

“All people ever say is, ‘there’s an app for that’.” My friend, Toby shook his head sadly and looked at me with the kind of hopeless expression I associate with people who are afraid they will lose their jobs. But, Toby wasn’t in as much trouble as he thought. We talked about his upcoming project and he told me that his IT staff didn’t have the time or the skills to develop the business app his boss wanted. I told him not to worry.

Don’t Be a Guinea Pig! Hire Software Product Development Experts!

PDMS

Over the years, I have had my share of mistakes. One that comes to mind that cost my company a lot of time and money was the mistake I made when I selected a vendor to develop a software product for us. Our business wanted to develop a product for the market and we saw a very clear opportunity to make money on a product that would satisfy our customer requirements and allow us to keep the product evergreen and upgrade it with new features as our customer expectations and needs changed.

Psychology of Software Product Development

You know what would be boring…?

A lesson on psychology! So as to make the article interesting, let us progress with a story arc format consisting of the good, the bad and the funny side!

Product-Development-Psychology

The Good Side of the Story!

We have known people and have worked for people who understand nothing about technology, but have a defined domain knowledge or expertise or clarity of purpose to pursue use of technology to expand their skills to a global arena through automation made feasible by technology.

By automation, we are specifically talking about delivering value through use of software, rather than manual tasking.

Say for instance, an auditor who does auditing of major hospitals, food & beverage industries have found that the process could be optimized by use of an iPad type device that will carry the standardized forms for compliance regulation and works, just works! On both offline and online mode.

This simplification is a welcomed simplification; business needs efficiency, less paper work, more quality coverage and accuracy.

This forms the clarity of purpose behind the development of software product.

Awesome Responsive Web Design (RWD) Part Two: Don’t Forget Device Size, Queries, Images and Testing!

RWD

In the first of our two-part article series, entitled ‘Awesome Responsive Web Design (RWD) Part One: The Devil is in the Details!’ we discussed some of the challenges and considerations of building a high performance, heavy data centric, multi device mobile business solution. In the first article, we reminded our readers that Software Product Development and, in particular, Product Development, Management and Support (PDMS) must include a serious consideration of RWD and software usability improvements.The concept of Responsive Web Design encompasses differing techniques such as Adaptive Web Design, RESS (Responsive Design with Server-Side components), and responsive delivery. These techniques incorporate client-side code, multiple device templates, and cloud-based code transformations that stretch far beyond the scope of RWD. “Responsive” has simply come to describe techniques and technologies in which a unified set of website code produces Web pages optimized for multiple devices based on screen size and device capability. How a site achieves this unified state is becoming less and less important.

Let’s Get This Straight: Software Product Development Isn’t The Same As Application Development

PDMS

The difference between Application Development, Maintenance and Support (ADMS) and Product Development, Maintenance and Support (PDMS) is not always obvious to businesses. But if an enterprise is considering a software product launch, it is imperative that the management team understands that difference! Employing ADMS skills and resources to complete a PDMS project is very likely to result in project failure.The investment and time required to conceive, design and develop a software product is significant, and it can be overwhelming. The software product development and design process includes competitive analysis, technical feasibility, product roadmap management and implementation and timely upgrades of the product to satisfy the ever-changing user and technology needs. If your business wants to successfully create and launch a software product, the project must be managed with optimum standards of software engineering and it must comply with the business plan and financial projections for the product. Software Products Development must include state-of-the-art software engineering practices, appropriate technical architecture, versioning control, detailed technical and user documentation and high development and quality standards.
