You are counting sheep at 3 am, trying to get some sleep, when an idea comes to you that you believe will revolutionize how people view, experience, and understand technology. What do you do when an idea flashes by?
It’s simple: write the idea, then in a few days, design, develop, test, and deploy it. It takes months, not just a few days, to get the idea out there.
How did it happen? The other guy went down a path called Minimal Viable Product.
It is the version of your product with the perfect number of features for all of your early customers to be satisfied and to give them feedback on your future product development.
What are the seven essential steps you should take to ensure that your idea will be so great that it can be developed with the minimum resources, launched, and benefits from it?
Research is a good idea
Nitor Infotech”>research about who your audience is and who your competition is. Understanding the market is important. Finalizing the use cases is essential for management to buy in. Discussing expected business goals and aspects that require validation is also necessary.
You will find that the little journal you kept to record your ideas and their reasons is very useful at this stage. You can do well with a few pie stacks here and there (I’m talking about charts ….). Food is a great idea.
Validate it
Nitor Infotech”>mobile app, and you want to reach your clients and customers with them, or you just want to make the life of developers of the world easy and use RPA to automate something.
All this makes it sound like everyone will love them the moment you press that red launch button. Will they last the test of time or not? Nitor Infotech”>experts (technical architects, business analysts, etc.) Before releasing a press release, you should check if the idea is technically feasible.
Test it
Nitor Infotech”>test it (no, your lovely cat there does not count, unless that is for whom you are automating something-may be self-filling cereal bowls… hmm).
Nitor Infotech”>building a software product (you may think it does-but Customization (psst… Customer) is King), so if you want a smoother product launch, have the right bunch of testers get the feel of your product. Nitor Infotech”>software and technology solutions company has a group of trusted testers and peer product managers who usually check for agility and ask for and give frequent feedback; they create weekly or bi-weekly deliverables so everyone stays on top of the product launch.
You can add to this list two other things: keep an eye on opportunities and threats, not from people but from the product’s point of view. And lastly, don’t forget the sense of humor that you had when your idea was first born.
Launching your product can be as stressful as having an infant. Trust that you are in the best of hands.
Focus on delivery and support
You’re in the final stages of your garage phase. You had a great solution and put together all you needed. You built a scalable product infrastructure, and you iterated on your way through development and validation.
You’re done! You are done!
Nitor Infotech”>qualitative testing can help you understand the usability and the experience delivered to your Customer by your product. You will both learn a lot during this phase.
You have set yourself up for a successful market entry by bringing a minimum viable prototype. By presenting your product to real customers, you will get their feedback and can then adjust your product.
This simple, low-cost, time-saving solution can yield high returns. What a great idea!
