What is it?
Through the process of evaluating and testing a software development idea, we determine its feasibility, potential value, and potential for success. The aim of Proofing a Concept (idea validation) in software development is to make sure your proposed solution solves a real problem, meets the needs of the target users, and is technically feasible to build.
Why does it matter?
Proofing a Concept involves conducting market research, analyzing user feedback, and assessing the feasibility of the idea from a technical standpoint.
This crucial step allows developers to refine their ideas and identify potential flaws and shortcomings that need to be addressed.
By validating ideas before investing time, money, and resources into them, we can reduce the risk of failure, make informed decisions, and increase their chances of success.
Think of it this way - by skipping the idea validation process, you risk developing software that doesn't meet the needs of your users or is technically unfeasible, which could result in wasted time, money, and resources.
Idea validation is an essential part of the software development process, and it's crucial for delivering software solutions that meet the needs of users and deliver value to the business.
So don't skip this step and give your software development ideas the best chance for success!

Design Sprint:
A five-day workshop in which we map out your idea, research it, build a prototype, and get a group of testers to provide feedback. The process is not a one-size-fits all, and so it can vary depending on your needs. Contact us and we will develop a project plan and timeline that meets your specifications.
