How to Build an App
1. What problem does your product need to solve?
2. Who are your target users?
3. How are your target users currently solving the
problem?
4. What are your competitors doing?
5. What are the primary objectives?
6. How will you measure success?
7. What is your budget / minimum ROI?
1. Identify Core Problem
1. Only include the core features
2. Keep the purpose clear
3. Focus only on the requirements needed
for the core feature
4. Don’t use the SWISS ARMY KNIFE
approach
2. Adopt a Lean Approach
1. User centric design is key
2. Why would your target users engage with
your app?
3. How will you keep them engaged?
4. How will you measure their engagement?
5. How will you solicit their feedback?
6. TEST EVERYTHING
3. Think like your target user
1. You can’t think of everything

3. Sometimes STEALTH release is best for V1
4. Release V1 to small test group (bugs & all)
5. Save the big marketing spend for V2 or V3
release
6. DON’T expect you’ll get it right the first
time.
4. It won’t be perfect… That’s OK!
