As much as we’re known to be really cool and fun people, when it comes to the process of developing an app, creating or modifying a site for mobile, or any type of IT project, we’re seriously nerdy about adhering to a disciplined process. It’s kind of like fighter pilots: they have a great time when they’re not on the airplane but when it’s time to fly they use a checklist.
Why follow a process?
- 10 minutes of planning = 1 hour saved in development
- Cost overruns (which run 189% more than the estimate for projects with poor planning)
- Schedule overruns (don’t you hate it when you have to tell your boss you won’t make the deadline?)
- The possibility of the project not happening at all (about 30% of all IT projects never reach completion)
All of the above is the gospel truth, according to the Standish Group’s IT Project Survey.
Our process
- Discovery
- Design & Develop
- Launch & Evaluate
- Maintain
That sounds difficult & time consuming. Can you make it easier? Sure, if you know what you want and have your ideas and material organized (a big If, we know) your mobile site can be viewable in very short order.
