When you're trying to bring a new product to market, you're probably focusing on just that: the product . What is that? What does it do? Why does it need to exist? Who will use it? Is there a sufficient market to support this business model? All of Australia Phone Number List these questions require answers before you can even start thinking about development. But let's say you've already answered these questions, or at least have a list of hypotheses you're willing to test. The next logical step would be to start creating your product; but with that comes an even longer list of questions: who is going to build it? Should I hire a team or outsource? Should I go against the wall or create small iterative sprints? The list goes on and on, and if you are a new product owner, developing your software product can suddenly become an overwhelming task. That's why we recommend new product owners focus on three areas of development: people, process, and tools. People: the human side of the software Orange tinted image of hand behind words reading human side of software There's an old adage that "you're only as good as the people you surround yourself with", and nowhere is that truer than in software development, where there are a million moving parts. to follow, daily discoveries to make and many personalities to juggle.

However, the people you need to think about first are your users. Who are they? Are there multiple customer segments you will need to Australia Phone Number List appeal to? Who is your early adopter? And who will you get feedback from? The answers to these questions are absolutely essential to the development process; but when it comes to building the actual product, you'll have to rely on a completely different group of individuals. Who are we talking about? They are your designers, developers, engineers and managers. In short: they are your experts, the people who will build what you imagined and the ones who will keep your project on track. And unless you're a software developer, you probably can't build your product without a similar team of professionals, whether they're based in-house or hired through external staff. But how to build this team? Where do you even find the talent you need? Every software development project is different, so there are no uniform expectations or requirements for talent. Instead, you need to align developer or engineer skills with your product needs. For our client projects, we assign teams that are: Multifunctional self-organized Well trained And focused on creating value for you and your customers.

It may seem like a vague reference, but it works in the ever-changing field of software development, where teams often need to turn ethereal or conceptualized ideas into material products or services. And because we often help startups and large enterprises meet their staffing needs, we've also developed our own process to integrate our developers, engineers, and account managers into a client's development process in the most efficient way. as smooth as possible, while delivering maximum value.

But where to start ? Some developers may only work one way,

while others may be more flexible. Some product managers will prefer one methodology over another, while some designers may ask for carte blanche. Every team and every project is different, which is why at Distillery we prefer a more flexible process. Yes, we can work Agile; but we can also approach a concept with an open mind and adapt to your unique needs. In the end, it all comes down to your product. Ask yourself: What features do Australia Phone Number List I absolutely need to please my user? What benefits will my user receive from these features, if any? When will I contact my user for feedback? How will my team and I respond to these comments? How can our business grow and grow over time? How are we going to market our product to the user? How are we going to provide customer support or educate our users down the line? The answers to these questions can inform not only your product but also your development process. Here are three processes to consider:
