HOW TO BECOME A GREAT APP
DEVELOPMENT PARTNERElliotte Bowerman,
Vice President of Marketing
@elliotte_b [email protected]© SOURCEBITS 2015. A GLOBO COMPANY.
1. You have an app idea but don’t know how to bring it into reality
2. You made a basic MVP, now you need to put the big app pants on 3. You can’t/don’t wish
to hire internal employees
4. You need a lot of help FAST
5. You’ve gotten funding at LAUNCH Festival to take your app to the next level
YOU KNOW YOU NEED HELP WHEN…

Good
Fast Cheap
Fast + cheap will lead to a very different development partner vs. fast + good.
Decide on your priorities.
PICK TWO
@elliotte_b [email protected]© SOURCEBITS 2015. A GLOBO COMPANY.
Your budget is a major filter when working with development partners. A fixed-cost system vs. an hourly rate both have their pros and cons.
VARIABLES

Because every app is unique, ranges will vary, but keep in mind that “You get what you pay for” is very true in mobile app development.
