How can you make sure that you choose the right agency to develop your next big idea?

The software development partner’s primary goal is to remove massive lifting from you so you can quickly launch your MVP or your software idea in the most cost-effective, timely manner.

First of all, make sure of the following:

  • Get a feel from the people you speak with, don’t feel like you are being talked past with overly technical words.
  • Check references- ask about the products they have built.
  • Ask to speak with former clients and with stakeholders you’ll be working with on projects.
  • Be sure to set a clear goal and expectations upfront on deliverables, whether that’s an MVP or a prototype.
  • Ask about options for a growth plan once the product is built.
  • Define communication strategies- make sure you meet your account manager, product manager, product owner, etc. Attend all meetings, create shared slack, ETC!
