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!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does the idea validation process take?
This depends on what type of validation you’re looking for.
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.

What if my idea is not validated?
The point of the process is to test where there may be
shortfalls in your idea, and then to iron out those creases
and avoid any risks there may be.
What happens when my idea is validated?
We put together a project plan and begin building your product.
Can you provide ongoing support after the process is completed?
Yes, we offer ongoing support to ensure that your project
is successful and meets your goals.
