Plan product development process
Outline the product development process to ensure a smooth and efficient workflow. Consider the tasks, resources, and timeline required to bring the product from ideation to launch. Use the form field below to document your plan.
Create detailed design mockups
Create detailed design mockups that visualize the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of your product. Use wireframing tools or design software to create mockups that showcase the key screens and interactions. Use the form field below to upload your design mockups.
Develop the product
Start developing the product based on the MVP and design mockups. Allocate resources and follow the planned development process. Use the form field below to document the progress and challenges faced during the development phase.
Test the product for quality assurance
Test the developed product to ensure its functionality, reliability, and user-friendliness. Create test cases, conduct manual or automated tests, and document any issues or bugs encountered. Use the form field below to record the testing process and results.
Make necessary adjustments and improvements based on tests
Review the test results and identify areas that require adjustments or improvements. Iterate on the product based on the feedback received from the testing phase. Use the form field below to describe the adjustments and improvements made.
