From Idea to MVP: Our 6-Week Development Process

Why 6 Weeks?

Six weeks is our sweet spot for MVP development. It's long enough to build something meaningful, but short enough to avoid feature creep and wasted effort.

Here's exactly how we structure those 6 weeks:

Week 1: Discovery & Planning

Day 1-2: Stakeholder Workshops

We start with intensive workshops to understand:

The problem you're solving

Your target users and their pain points

Success metrics — how will we know if this works?

Constraints — budget, timeline, technical limitations

Day 3-4: Feature Prioritization

Using the MoSCoW method, we categorize features:

Must Have — Core functionality for MVP

Should Have — Important but not critical

Could Have — Nice to have if time permits

Won't Have — Future phases only

Day 5: Technical Architecture

We map out:

Tech stack decisions

Database schema

API structure

Third-party integrations

Deliverable: Project roadmap, wireframes, technical spec

Week 2: Design Sprint

User Flows & Wireframes

Before any code, we design the complete user experience:

Onboarding flow

Core feature interactions

Edge cases and error states

Visual Design

We create a focused design system:

Color palette

Typography

Component library

Key screens (5-10 screens typically)

Deliverable: Complete UI designs, clickable prototype

Weeks 3-5: Development

Sprint Structure

We run two-week sprints with:

Daily standups (15 min)

End-of-sprint demos

Continuous deployment to staging

Development Priorities

Core functionality first — The one thing your MVP must do well

Authentication & basics — Login, user management

Supporting features — Everything else

Polish — Animations, edge cases, final touches

Quality Assurance

We test continuously:

Automated unit tests

Manual QA on every PR

User testing with real users mid-sprint

Week 6: Launch Preparation

Final QA & Bug Fixes

Complete test coverage review

Performance optimization

Security audit

Deployment

Production environment setup

App Store / Google Play submission

Monitoring and alerting setup

Launch Support

We don't disappear after launch:

30-day bug fix warranty

Analytics review after 1 week

Iteration planning based on data

What You Get at the End

After 6 weeks, you have:

✅ Working iOS and Android apps (or web app) ✅ Admin dashboard (if needed) ✅ Documentation for your team ✅ Clear roadmap for future development ✅ Real user feedback to guide next steps

Is 6 Weeks Right for You?

This timeline works best for:

Startups validating a concept

Established businesses testing a new product line

Entrepreneurs with a clear vision

It's not ideal for:

Complex enterprise systems

Apps requiring extensive integrations

Products without clear scope
