Receive A Working Product, Ready To Go Live

enterprise icon

User Journey Mapping

The user’s journey Is the sequence of steps that must be followed to achieve the main objective, such as making a purchase. All of these potential steps should be defined from the beginning, along with any problems that might occur during this process.

performance icon

Feature Prioritization

A list of the software’s features and functionality must be drafted at this stage, it is important to identify the main feature of the product and any other features that will make the software easier to use. After the features are listed, they should be ranked in order of priority.

Testing & QA

Custom software normally undergoes alpha testing among a small group, followed by beta testing to get feedback from a wider group of real users.

Feedback Mechanism

A fundamental functionality of an MVP is to provide a way for users to give feedback on the product. This could be in the form of surveys, feedback forms, or direct communication channels like email or chat.

chart icon

Scalability

While an MVP starts small, it should be built on a scalable architecture. This allows the product to grow and incorporate more features and users without requiring a complete redesign.

The Orases Process

How we work, from start to finish.

Our custom software development team has years of experience designing and developing unique & innovative custom software using a streamlined, repeatable process.

01

Idea

This involves documenting key business processes and eliciting needs and concerns from stakeholders. Additionally, risks associated with introducing new software are evaluated, and mitigation measures are planned. For commercial software products, this phase also includes conducting competition analysis, understanding the target audience’s needs, defining product differentiation, and addressing obstacles to market entry, such as regulatory barriers.

02

Define Goals

Defining goals involves composing a comprehensive list of requirements and expectations, ensuring alignment between stakeholders and the development team. By starting with a precise definition of the project’s specific requirements and scope, clarity and focus are ensured, laying a solid foundation for the development process to follow.

03

UX/UI Design

UX/UI design will determine the software’s appearance at the user level, defining app architecture, and integrating existing enterprise systems for cost-effectiveness and reliability. Additionally, UX research is conducted to outline user personas and scenarios, followed by the creation of wireframes and clickable prototypes to visualize user interactions.

04

Development

Our development team begins working on the essential components of the software. This involves continuous delivery of new software parts, with ongoing analysis of emerging needs and release planning. Mockups are delivered and reviewed to ensure alignment with requirements before developers proceed with developing, testing, and migrating approved software parts to staging and production environments for deployment.

05

Testing

Orases will conduct thorough verification of functionality and performance, including performance monitoring and utilizing analytics tools for ongoing evaluation. Feedback is gathered from project sponsors and users on the results of the release, and the outcomes are reviewed to approve the scope of the next release. Continuous improvement is prioritized through iterative testing and refinement based on insights gained from monitoring tools.

06

Deployment

Deployment involves pushing the finalized product to the live server and conducting user testing to ensure it meets stakeholder expectations. Additionally, software monitoring processes are established to track performance and address any issues that may arise post-deployment.

07

Training & Support

This step includes conducting project evaluations and performing knowledge transfer sessions to your in-house IT team or other vendors involved. Comprehensive training and documentation are offered to users, empowering them to utilize the software effectively. Finally, a final report is provided, and confirmation for project closure is requested to conclude the development cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions that’s been on everyone’s mind.

Why Is Creating An MVP Important?

Creating an MVP is important because it allows developers and companies to test their assumptions about a product’s viability and user demand with minimal resources. It helps identify the core features that meet user needs without the risk and expense of developing a full-fledged product upfront.

What Are The Key Components Of An MVP?

The key components of an MVP include only the essential features that solve the core problem for users, a mechanism for collecting user feedback, and metrics to measure the product’s performance against business objectives.

How Do I Determine What Features To Include In An MVP?

Features included in an MVP should be chosen based on their ability to fulfill the core value proposition of the product. Prioritize features that are critical to solving the basic problem your product addresses and that you hypothesize will bring the most value to your users.

How Do I Measure The Success Of An MVP?

Success of an MVP can be measured through specific, predefined metrics that might include user engagement, user feedback, the rate of acquisition, and conversion rates. The key is to establish what success looks like before launching the MVP and then collecting relevant data to analyze performance.
