Creating an Accurate and Quick MVP for Your Startup

Created 5 years ago in Technology / Software Development

You lose months and $ every time a wrong decision is made near the beginning of your startup, and every time decisions are made without a full picture of what needs to be built, or a clear technical direction of where you need to go.

Most software startup founders go straight to hiring developers and never properly gather business requirements or create specifications before starting development. This should be Step 1 in any software if you want to turn out well, and to not drag on for months.

If you don't gather business requirements properly, it's like building a house without asking how many bedrooms or bathrooms. How do you know what to put in the "blueprint" to build?

If you don't create specifications properly, it's like not creating a blueprint before building a house. How could it possibly turn out right?

Business Requirements are Step 1 and specifications depend on the business requirements. All subsequent steps depend on both of these steps. The less you do them properly, the more you will go in the wrong direction. See my LinkedIn video post here:
