Planning

Posted by Jad on May 30, 2007

Like with anything else, developing a web app starts with a minimum of planning.

  • How long should it take?
  • How much will it cost?
  • How simple will it be?
Common difficulties you face when planning:
  • Saying 15 weeks is already planning way too much in advance
  • Cost will depend on the time it takes (which isn’t set in stone)
  • Advanced features means harder for competition to beat but also longer time to build
Here’s how I see it:
  • Breaking it all down to 5 main phases, each ranging from 1 week up to 4 weeks for a total of 9 weeks
  • Maximum budget: $13,000 (initial marketing included)
  • Features: the strict minimum, sticking to the essential features and nothing extra for now
That’s it for now - next up will most probably be a slightly more detailed timeline, but for now I will get back on the wireframe sketches.
