“I'm a developer! I know how to make software!” These dreamers surely aren't thinking about log-in screens, resetting passwords, or what happens if a user loses data connection for some reason. Even fewer have thought anything more profound than, “It would be great to have a piece of software that did X!” Most don't stop to consider whether or not anyone else cares about their concept. You need to put a lot of your effort into implementing your idea in a way that will knock the socks off of your intended users.Įvery day, someone thinks that they have the Next Big Thing gestating and growing in the back of their brains. Unless you want someone else building a better widget, you need to put a lot of your effort into how the idea will be implemented in a way that will knock the socks off of your intended users.
In fact, you can't even copyright an idea you can only copyright certain aspects of the implementation of that idea. So, let's get the hard part out of the way first: Your idea isn't worth much to anyone but you. This way, once development starts, the engineers can focus on building the best product possible. These stages help you determine if you have a good idea, plan what you're building and how, then define what the look, feel and branding are that appeals to your target audience. At the very least, every developer can gain some insight into the why and how of things that occur during the concept, planning, design, and redlining stages of a project.
That may not be you today, but it may describe you tomorrow. Who is this article for? Any developer who has an idea for his or her own software, but needs some guidance on tackling all of the steps that happen before the development stage. We want every new entrepreneur to read them, learn them, and live them. At Rocksauce Studios, the Digital Design and Development Agency I founded in 2010, we have these words spelled out big and bold on our conference-room doors. When the dust settles, it's the execution that matters.
