The 5 Phases of Our Efficient App Development
For the efficient development of our apps, we work closely with a select group of interested users and our multidisciplinary development team. This streamlined, collaborative approach results in the creation of user-friendly, innovative solutions that are valuable to a wide audience.
The Approach
The entire development process consists of several sessions with all internal stakeholders and a select group of interested users.
1. Kick-Off
We begin with a 'Kick-off' session, where the group is informed, and together with them, our developers, designers, consultants, and product owner, we discuss the needs, requirements, and possibilities.
2. Domain Model
Based on the Kick-off, the domain model is created. Building a domain model means mapping out the key concepts, objects, and their relationships within the application. The domain model is a visual representation of the data structures and logic that define the app’s functionality, based on the user's needs and requirements. This model helps provide a clear overview of the different parts of the application, such as entities (e.g., users, products, orders), their attributes, and how they are related to each other. The domain model serves as the foundation for further development and ensures that the software is consistent and well-structured.
3. Wireframe & Flowchart
After the development of the domain model, we present the Wireframe and Flowchart. The Wireframe provides a schematic representation of the application and the user flow of the app. It is designed to visualize the app’s structure, showing how the user will navigate through it. The Flowchart is a diagram that explains the logic and flows within the application. It outlines the different steps or processes a user might go through, such as logging in, placing an order, or completing a form. The Flowchart gives a clear overview of decision points and the choices users can make, and how these choices affect the app's functionality.
4. Design Prototype
Based on feedback from the user group, a design prototype is developed. This is an interactive, visual representation of the final app, though it does not yet include full functionality. The prototype shows the app’s look and feel, including layout, colors, buttons, images, and typography, so users can get a clear sense of how the app will look and how the different components will interact. This step helps gather final feedback before the actual development begins.
5. Technical Realization
Only after these steps are completed and approved do we begin the technical realization and programming of the app. This ensures that everything is carefully mapped out in advance, so the final development aligns perfectly with the user’s needs.
Why This Approach Works
By collaborating with all stakeholders in co-creation sessions before the technical realization and regularly adjusting based on customer feedback, we develop apps that seamlessly meet the user’s needs. The result? Solutions that are efficient, intuitive, user-friendly, and flexible, without unnecessary customizations. This approach enables us to work faster and more effectively, while simultaneously delivering a better end product that is relevant to a wide range of users.
Room for Personalized Adjustments
Despite the many benefits of a standardized approach, we understand better than anyone that every company is unique. In addition to our standardized approach, there is also room for personalized adjustments, tailored to the specific needs of our users. By implementing these adjustments in the right places, we ensure that other companies are not affected. This way, we can offer solutions that are both standardized and flexible, without compromising efficiency or the user experience.
