When you are looking to have a custom software solution created, you will be faced with several choices. Not only do you need to find the right software development company, but the right development approach to suit.
To make it even harder, there is no single 'best' approach when it comes to software development. The 'best fit' depends on the type of project it is, the number of features and the timescale for completion.
In the case of software development, there are four common strategies:
- Agile - AKA The mind changers. Ideal for a project that adds features along the way or is likely to change in scope. Agile software development minimises the risk of adding new functionality, iteration processes, and features. With an agile strategy, you get functioning software early in the development process, and then can add new features over time.
- Waterfall - This is a more rigid software development strategy and is perhaps the most traditional as a result. It works in a sequential path, with each element, requirement, design, implementation, verification and maintenance, following only after the previous is complete. There is less flexibility, but if all elements are accounted for in the design phase, this can offer a more predictable, efficient approach. It is not ideal for a project that may change and add features through development (don't pick this if you are known to change your mind).
- DevOps - This is a strategy focused on improving time to market. If you need software development in a hurry, then DevOps offers the best option. It is based around a concept called continuous deployment, meaning that new updates and fixes are implemented as they are ready, rather than a specific timetable.
- Rapid Acceleration Development (RAD) - Built to produce products with a well-defined business objective as fast as possible at minimal cost. So, what's the catch? It requires your oversight team to have a thorough understanding of the application's focus, as they must quickly approve each construction phase to ensure progress. If you are a software development company virgin, this is perhaps not the best approach to begin with.
You guessed it. Software development timescales vary from project to project. From initial scope discussions through to design and development, each stage will depend on the number of features and capabilities of the software. The type of development strategy will affect how long it takes too.
To answer the question, the industry has an average time of four to twelve months from the initial idea to the actual roll-out of the software. The more complex the software, the longer it will take.
It is crucial to get estimated rollout dates from any software development company during the quoting process.
Whatever software you need, the success of the project hinges on finding the best software development company that matches your needs.
Here are some hot tips to get you started:
- Know your requirements - To make the most out of any custom software solution, you need to identify and define the business goals that your software needs to accomplish! This is the first step, as your goals act as a roadmap for the entire development process.
- Define your timetable - When do you need the software by? If you're running on a short timeframe, a smaller company may not be able to provide the workhours needed to complete the software via your deadline.
- Examine Portfolios - Look at the portfolios of software development companies to find those with experience in similar industries to yours.
- Ask questions - The only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask!
- Meet with the team - Front up and meet with a few companies to make sure you can form a good working relationship. Clashes of personalities and cultures can cause major problems.
Here's a few questions you should really ask (plus these make you sound like you know what you are talking about):
- Can you complete the project to our schedule? - This is perhaps the most important, as it defines how many resources will be needed and the kind of development strategy to use.
- What development strategy will you use? - Different strategies have different qualities, make sure that their preferred approach is compatible with your needs.
- Do you use in house teams or contractors? - Knowing who will do the work is important. If a software developer needs contractors to meet your schedule or provide specialised skills, you should be aware of this beforehand, as it may impact the requirements for maintenance after launch.
- Will you provide a single contact point? - Having an account manager to talk about your project will make it much easier to keep up to date with progress.
- How would you handle update requirements after implementation? - Business is ever evolving, and at some point, you may need updates to your software to add additional features or adapt to work with other tools. Having a plan in place to take care of these gives confidence in the long-term viability of the project.
This is a friendly warning that software development isn't cheap but costs do vary depending on the scope and features of the software required. With average rates ranging between $50 to $150 an hour, costs of developing an app fall between $50,000 and $250,000 depending on project scope.
Always compare a few quotes to find the best value for your specific needs.
