How to implement your own software project with a few simple steps…

All of us at some point had some idea to create a software project. But at the moment, some of us give up with the thought “This is not the time.” And others are determined, bold and inquire about a software company. The latter are driven by the necessary transformation for their business. Here, we will list some of the more important steps to be informed in advance:

1. What is your idea, goals and its purpose?

You have an idea and you want to make it a fact. However, the difficulty comes when everything in your head has to be presented to the company you turn to to help you in the implementation of the project / product. Everything must be well described and explained so that the contractor understands your idea and imagines it in the same way as you.
The easiest way (in a few initial steps) is to sit in front of the computer in peace and look at the competing companies in your industry, what they offer, how they offer it, do they have gaps, how things look in your eyes, what functionalities there are … everything at all. There will be many additional questions, which should not scare you, they are specified with the contractor. Based on these initial steps, you form a clear idea in your head.

2. How to plan deadlines?

The next aspect in structuring the project is the deadlines and dates. It is good to think and consider what and when you need, focusing on the following points:
– Until when do you plan to collect offers from companies and choose a developer;
– When you are ready to provide complete information for starting the project;
– When should your testing project be ready;
– When do you want the project to be implemented and officially put into operation;

3. How to choose a developer for your project?

Once you have gone through the planning and research, it is time to choose a software company. This is done by sending inquiries to companies in the field of software development. Based on the collected offers, you choose a specific company / contractor.
In most cases, customers choose the lowest bid that is understandable, but should not be leading for a number of reasons. Our advice is to pay attention to the details. Before choosing a price it is important: When will they contact you? How and how will they treat you? What attitude will they show in the inquiry? What does the offer contain based on the indicated price compared to the assignment? Deadline for implementation? It takes a few minutes to find out if they are professionals or not, as well as if they want you to be satisfied with the work done.
Also, as in every industry, large and serious companies do not work cheaply, not to mention the scale of the project, which is essential. Our advice is not to trust untested people, “cheap” options, because you may not see your dream come true at all or you may face many obstacles (time and nerves) that are not worth the price.
4. What budget do you have?
Everyone must determine how much money they are willing to invest in building a software project / product. There is a subtle point that most ignore, and it is not only the creation of your project / product, but also the maintenance after that.
Never let your software project / product be promoted and established as a brand alone. Every product needs promotion. If you take into account the factors for budget formation indicated by us, you will be able to distribute it adequately and without unforeseen or unwanted surprises.
In conclusion from Rubicom we will say that you need to take seriously all the points mentioned above: planning, structuring and implementation of your software project / product. Only then will he thank you.
