Software development process for startups

The software development process for startups is highly adaptable and depends on the cooperation model that best suits each project’s unique needs. We collaborate closely with founders to understand their goals and recommend the most effective methodologies.

Several factors influence the process

01/

The startup’s stage: from quick prototype to MVP or scale-up.

02/

The number of decision-makers approving features.

03/

The time the founder can dedicate.

04/

Go-to-market strategy and investor pressure.

We specialize in models such as

Agile

Ideal for flexibility and frequent iteration.

Agile relies on short development cycles called sprints (typically 1-4 weeks), where features are developed incrementally. A product backlog is used to prioritize tasks, and at the end of each sprint, a review and planning session ensures constant feedback and refinement.

Lean Startup

Focused on creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to validate ideas with limited resources.

The process revolves around the build-measure-learn feedback loop, enabling startups to test hypotheses quickly and efficiently. Backlogs are generally smaller, focused on essential features for validation. Lean Startup method is perfect for minimizing waste, adapting to market needs, and iterating before investing heavily in product development.

Kanban

Suited for continuous delivery with a focus on workflow efficiency.

A Kanban board tracks tasks, limiting the number of work items in progress to maintain optimal flow. Kanban works well for startups that need ongoing feature development and prefer managing work on a task-by-task basis. It’s particularly useful for improving process efficiency and reducing bottlenecks.

Each model has its advantages and potential drawbacks depending on the startup’s stage and market needs.

For example, Agile works best when constant feedback is necessary, while Lean Startup is ideal for experimenting with ideas before committing resources.

But in every case we start our software development cooperation with a FREE CONSULTATION!
