MVP Development

Whitewater Tech helps you turn your raw idea into a viable software product. We can help you define the technical components of your vision, and then work with you through your prototype to your MVP to scaling up as you grow. Once you’re live, we can help manage your product roadmap to keep the new features flowing.

What is a prototype?

A prototype is often built when we are working with a new product or idea. Our MVP designers build the “front-end” or “user interface” so you can visually understand how your application will function. We use design tools that allow you to navigate around the application just like your customers or users will. Does the flow work? Do we need to adjust the menu or navigation? Are we missing essential features? This interactive model of your software is great for presentations with potential customers and/or funding sources.

What is an MVP?

MVP stands for “minimum viable product”. This highly focused product contains only those features necessary to validate your core value proposition. Building an MVP will help you get valuable feedback and solidify your business strategy before you spend a lot of time and money on additional features. We can help identify those features that need to be part of the MVP development project by understanding your audience’s behavior, market conditions, and future plans for your business. MVPs generally take 6-8 weeks to define, build, and deploy.

How do we help manage growth?

The most important decisions related to handling growth happen early on. We don’t want to build an MVP and then have to throw everything away and start over as your idea gains traction. So we plan ahead, and we build everything with the assumption that rapid growth is on the horizon. When that growth happens, your software is ready to scale up and out as necessary to handle the load.

And, usually, with more usage comes more support and feature requests. To help with this aspect of growth, we build in industry leading monitoring and tracking tools. This means you’ll always know what problems your users are having and what features they’re using most frequently. And that information helps you prioritize your roadmap in order to get the most valuable enhancements out faster.
