- 1. How do you get an idea from your head into the app store? 10 steps
- 2. Step 1 • Brainstorm on your idea • Don’t assume: talk to your customers • Make sure to document your ideas
- 3. Step 2 • Create a user story that describes how people will use your app
- 4. Step 3 • Translate your user stories into business requirements or specs – what do you need the app to be able to do?
- 5. Sample user story • Jack wants to be able to share his favorite new recipes with his friends so they can try his recipe ideas out, too.
- 6. Sample business requirements • Users can create and log into an account that saves their data (text & images), including: – Recipe title – Recipe steps – Photos • Users can share recipes with one another
- 7. Step 4: Wireframes • Have a UX (user experience) designer take your user stories and business requirements and create wireframe designs • This is when the costs of development can be more properly determined
- 8. Step 5: High Res Designs • Your designer will add skin to the bones of your wireframes with a high resolution design of your app’s UI (user interface)
- 9. Step 6: Develop a Prototype • Developers can regularly send out “builds” or beta versions of the app to you and your team after sprints as features are added
- 10. Step 7: QA (quality assurance) Test • Try to break the app (get it to crash) • Test out every unique user flow • Identify and document bugs – include detailed re-production steps that led to the bug
- 11. Step 8: Fix bugs & finish development
- 12. Step 9: Marketing • If you simply build it, they will not come • A marketing plan is a must for success • Figure out how to build awareness of your app and acquire users
- 13. Step 10: Grow • Observe how people use your app and gather feedback • Add features and functionality to add incremental value for users • Continue fixing bugs • Monetize if applicable
