The Role Of Client In Development

When a client hires a contract software development company to design and build custom software, the business is making a strong strategic choice to let the experts take over the heavy lifting of application development, but that doesn’t mean the client is off the hook altogether. The client’s input and participation are a crucial part of the process. After all, without direction from the client, the developers don’t know what to build. Each hour the engineers spend building must be in service of developing the software according to the client’s wishes, so the client’s team must be able and willing to make.

Domain Expertise on Your Business

Potential customers often want to know if our custom software development firm possesses specific, relevant experience in their business domain. This is a great question — if a vendor has experience with similar projects to yours, that’s a good sign they’re a good fit. But the answer to this question isn’t the end-all, be-all, either.

What Is Scope Creep, and How Can We Avoid It?

Software projects, no matter how carefully conceptualized, almost always encounter a number of changes, modifications, enhancements, and even fixes that make it difficult to accurately predict budget and commercial viability. The cause of this unpredictability is usually related to failure in one of three areas: setting expectations, drawing up thorough plans, and properly managing the project. Unlike commodities like a gallon of gas or milk, the ending cost of a software development project is often based on a conceptual understanding of the goal, not a step-by-step plan with strict mutual commitment and even stricter execution.
