Custom App Development - Art of the Possible: 4-week Proof Of Concept

The Art of the Possible service is designed to help early-stage innovators achieve the following effectively, swiftly, and economically:

• Demonstrate the power of their innovative idea in the form of a concrete software solution to excite supporters and convince the skeptics among potential investors, customers, or senior decision makers.
• Validate and refine their own ideas early leading to a robust foundation that needs fewer and smaller changes as the product evolves.

This is a 4-week long project that results in:

• Working software that can be demonstrated in 10-15 minutes and showcases the most compelling features of the innovative idea and its impact
• A proven and established architecture and software engineering toolchain that requires minimal changes to build out the full product
• A prioritized backlog of features that constitute an efficient and achievable product roadmap, which can be used to achieve a software solution that can be deployed for field use and provide business value in a matter of 2-3 months
