MobileFolk is not only your next-door software development vendor, but we are your strategic partner as we help you make knowledgeable technological decisions that suit your business best today, tomorrow & forever.

Our collaboration begins with open dialogue, like with most things in life. You tell us your plans, and we’ll figure out how to get to the destination together. 

Discovery: All new projects begin with a discovery phase, during which we learn about your goals, vision, and the steps necessary to achieve them. In many respects, this is the most crucial aspect of a project since it allows us to answer the most fundamental questions: what and why are we developing it, and what resources will it require. 

Business model: Fundamentals is where we like to start; we ask you vital questions and give our suggestions about things you need before investing in your idea. Such as Have you done market validation? Who are your competitors? What is your revenue model, and what growth trajectory do you want to target? 

Software requirement documentation: Clients usually have their requirements documented, but if not, MobileFolk helps customers pen the essentials down and refine them as per the short-term & long-term goals. We keep our method simple and help you document those requirements through the discovery phase with the end goal of helping you imagine how the finished product will appear and act.  Poor requirements are the most prevalent cause of project failure, and if the requirements are not precise, detailed, clearly defined, and correctly stated, the ultimate result may not be what you had in mind from the beginning.

Prioritization: The following step is arranging and dividing the requirements into smaller milestones. We determine the quickest path to generating a minimal viable product (MVP) that can be distributed to consumers, beta testers, investors, or stakeholders.

Agile & lean road mapping: We create a product roadmap to help you minimize your time and budget, test your idea, and swiftly receive and iterate on user feedback. If feasible, we want to create lower priority features after launch to decrease initial timeframes and costs.

Platform architecture:  Our long-standing experience in designing, developing, and launching various types of platforms has equipped our team to lay out an architecture that would fit your needs of scaling, security, accessibility, or feature expansion as you desire. We deliver an understanding to furnish architectures that are demonstrated.

Integrations & tools: We guide startups in evaluating and choosing ideal 3rd party tools or services for integration that fits the business needs best.

Software Development: Our development aims are to reduce project risk by breaking the project down into smaller, easier-to-manage portions and addressing the difficult areas first to give us more time to examine possibilities and discover solutions.

Change requests: We have weekly progress reports and biweekly sprint demos to enable discussion, feedback, and modifications if necessary throughout this phase.

QA: Our specialized QA team evaluates the product at each stage to eradicate issues and give user input for software enhancements.

Planning for launch: Launching a new product is stressful, so we handle the technical side of things so you can focus on your business. Set up production servers, load testing, and publish apps to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Planning for Growth after launch: Launching your product is not the end for most initiatives; it is simply the beginning! Know that you are not alone as your business demands evolve with technology. We’ll be available for ongoing development and maintenance.

We’d love the opportunity to put our skills to use for your project.
