Hiring a software development company to improve your business is not a simple task, since it is necessary to have the right partner to build or improve your product. If you are a CEO or entrepreneur, you have probably already considered improving the opportunities for your business, hand in hand with technology.

To help you in this process, EtyaLab has prepared for you, a series of aspects that you should take into account when hiring a custom software development:

The software development company must know and understand your project:

The first mistake in a software development project is the lack of communication. If the company that is going to carry out the development does not understand what the need of your business or project is and what the ideal solution is, the result will never be adequate. This first mistake will waste a lot of time and money.Este primer error te hará perder mucho tiempo y dinero.

A diligent software development company protects your investment and ensures that all inputs are considered at the requirement or discovery stage and not at the production stage, where high costs can be incurred for the continuation of the project.

Experienced specialists with established processes

Building software is a complex job that requires knowledgeable and skilled people, it should never be improvised. Some questions that the software development company must be able to answer are:

• What is the sequence of steps with which the software product will be delivered?
• How will changes and requirements be handled?
• How often will you receive feedback on the development of the process?
• Does the designated team frequently evaluate its performance as the project progresses?

A detailed development work plan in short iterations

For all projects, especially software development, it is necessary to have a mastery of project management, as well as risk management. The development company must have the ability to produce, execute and monitor a work plan to efficiently build your product.

In this respect, the questions are

• What is the project’s route?
• Will we work with short iterations (2 weeks) to reduce risk?
• Do you use any tracking tools to monitor the progress of your projects?
• Is there a permanent and frequent results presentation session?

A portfolio that validates your software development expertise

Experience and success stories with other companies should help you understand the company’s capabilities. Success stories serve as a validation of how broad and efficient their experience is and how your business will benefit from making the best decision.
