After discussing the need of having a mobile app and how to build a high performing mobile app in our previous articles, let’s now look at what should you consider while outsourcing a mobile app development to a Web Development Company. Congratulate yourself for taking a step in the right direction to build a mobile app. The decision of owning a mobile app might have taken you out of the comfort zone, but it is worth the investment and promises rich dividends for your brand.
If you wish to outsource the Mobile app development, there are some essential qualities to be looked for in the app development team:
- Domain Expertise: Web development team should have enough domain knowledge to understand the special operational nuances & possible customer requirements. It helps you to clearly communicate your business requirements & field scenarios without any gaps. It is completely not possible to capture all the details of the requirement on the SRS document. So, lookout for people who can understand your business language better.
- Technical Expertise: Building high performing mobile app with sophisticated quality requires expertise on the subject. The technical knowledge here does not just mean the capability of building an app. The app developer should be aware of the limitations & capabilities of the devices used in the field for this particular domain. The team should have user perspective and be able to add value in areas that are beyond the core expertise. A significant hurdle is crossed if the developer can understand the utility of the app in question.
- Creative & User Focussed: The team should have good UI & UX designers to better understand the user behaviour and create simple yet powerful application. Having creative designs is not the only thing for success but your app should be simple to navigate. If the UX is not simple, your application is set on its path towards failure. A team that is able to give attention to detail and yet maintain a wholesome user experience can do wonders for your brand. Look for simplicity.
- Agile Methodology: The team should have agile development methodology and flexible enough to accommodate important changes that can add value to the application. The plan should be flexible to consider the needs of the client on whether the speed to market with phased release is important or going to market with the complete set of features is important. The process should engage the client in having visibility and transparency of the development stage and goals. Look out for proven development process.
- Delivery & Support: Having clear delivery plan and execution is the most important factor for successful completion of the project. The Team that consists of expertise across the spectrum can be successful in developing a great app. A testament to the performance of any team lies in the earlier works they have carried out. The teams that have a rich portfolio showing the experience of working across different verticals are the ones that can take your idea to its completion.
The team that is constantly pushing the envelope will take the necessary risks associated with trying something new.
