Do you have huge digital plans for your business? Do you see opportunities to market a great app or a pioneering SaaS platform? You obviously want to make the most these opportunities, but to do so, you first need to get the app or platform built. Finding developers is a challenge in itself, but managing them can also be a complex task.
Challenge 1 - miscommunication
Technical jargon can lead to confusion and miscommunication between you and the developers. The reverse is also true: as an entrepreneur, you have lots of knowledge about your field, also often laced with jargon. And that, in turn, is a language that developers do not know. It is crucial to clearly articulate requirements and functionalities so that developers can implement them without error.
Challenge 2 - a different work process
Software developers often take an incremental and iterative approach, which can be frustrating if you want a working product quickly. The result? No big bang where the (update in the) app is miraculously delivered, but rather a process of small steps forward, with enough room for validation and adjustment.
Challenge 3 - Estimating time
Besides, giving an exact timing and planning is not always easy. Why is this so difficult and why do developers often take longer to make adjustments than you might expect?
