Product Development

At Sciphics, we follow Agile development practices to ensure our Clients achieve their product development goals in an accelerated time to market fashion. We engage right skills and control costs, have measures in place to protect clients intellectual property rights.

Start off with MVP to Make Big

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) development is building a software version with core feature and minimalist design, using basic infrastructure. Deploying an MVP, you verify business assumptions for custom software and test the demand for a new product, with minimum investments.

We Follow 6 STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT CYCLE
6 STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT CYCLE

STEP 1

Discovery and MVP Planning (2 to 4 weeks)

Business analysis for products

  • Identification of business needs and process improvement options
  • Project stakeholder interviewing and analysis
  • Conceptualization

Feature Road-mapping

  • Feature outline for the full software version
  • Feature prioritization for the full software version based on user stories, user scenarios, prioritization techniques (e.g., Kano and MoSCoW), cost-benefit analysis, etc
  • Deciding on MVP functionality

MVP Architecture Design

  • High-level design of the final solution (if the MVP won’t be re-built in the future, but further improved in iterations)
  • Performance requirements
  • Information security requirements
  • Any compliances (as needed)

Planning MVP Integrations

Third part (as needed)

Choosing a technology stack

For the optimum MVP development time, costs and efforts, software reliability (if the MVP is to stay and be further improved in iterations, the full software version should be kept in mind in the course of all considerations)

STEP 1

STEP 2

Proof-of-Concept (optional – rapid prototyping) (4 to 8 weeks)

To demonstrate the software concept in a sales context, give an understanding of how the software will work to stakeholders, or check technical feasibility of software based on a highly innovative idea

STEP 2

STEP 3

MVP development project planning

To focus on

  • MVP development project scope
  • MVP development project deliverables
  • MVP development budget planning
    The PM methodology (most often, one of the Agile options – Scrum, extreme programming (XP), etc.)
  • MVP development project timeline
  • MVP development project schedule and breakdown into iterations and deliverables
  • MVP development project risks charter
STEP 3

STEP 4

MVP Development

No-code MVP development (1 week)

The demand for a new product or an application’s ability to meet business needs can be first tested without actual coding and with minimum possible investments

A ‘landing page’ MVP (text or video presentation)

A ‘flintstone’ MVP (advertising new software and faking the automation of processes you want it to perform, handling them manually behind-the-scenes)

 

Note: If a no-code MVP turns successful, plan a code-based MVP soon enough to be ahead of competitors and not get overwhelmed with the processes executed manually (a ‘flintstone’ MVP case)

Code (MVP UX Design, MVP UI Design, MVP Coding – 8 to 32 weeks)

Single feature MVP (implementing one key feature of future software that creates the core value)

Piecemeal MVP (creating a product/a custom application version comprising its basic features out of ready-made elements {created by you in the previous projects or available open source}. Later, you are likely to update or replace the reused parts

STEP 5

MVP Launch and further iterations

Software gets deployed to the production environment ready for use. Complex MVPs can be first moved through testing and staging environments so that the team could safely introduce changes or catch remaining mistakes before releasing software.

Monitoring how users communicate with the MVP, the project team:

  • Validates or redefines user stories
  • Identifies arising risks and updates a risk management plan
  • Adjusts feature/features

If the MVP gets market validation or shows positive changes in business processes, it can be completely rebuilt or further improved to cater for the needs and expectations of a growing number of users
