The Ultimate Guide: How Stormotion Mastered the Entire Development Process from Start to Finish

 
 

🧑‍💻 The Stormotion Team: What Makes Us Special?

The Stormotion team consists of over 20 experts who are dedicated to implementing innovative approaches in Yoga, Fitness, MedTech, HealthTech, and MentalHealth. In order to complete our projects and guarantee that they satisfy the needs of the client, we choose to use cutting-edge technology and techniques including the React Native framework, which allows us to develop applications simultaneously on both Android and iOS platforms using a single codebase. We have been working with this framework since its early days, and we are familiar with all the intricacies and features of working with React Native. (You can read more about this at the link that we will leave at the end of this section.)

Our team comprises of talented software engineers (engaged in software development and are responsible for creating code, architecture, and testing of the program.), UX/UI professionals (the wizards of user interface and user experience), project managers (the brain of any project that coordinates the work between team members, monitor the deadlines for completing tasks, and control the quality of work), and QA engineers (check if the product meets the requirements of the customer, fix bugs, and find possible problems).

Stormotion has a rigorous process for building the ideal team, which includes verifying that the candidate meets the job requirements. Additionally, we are committed to providing growth and professional development opportunities for the chosen candidate.

 
 

🤓 Exploring Project Management Flow

The process of coordinating and overseeing the many tasks, resources, and activities related to a project is known as project management. It’s essential for any business as a way to ensure the successful completion of their projects. We understand that every client's needs are unique, and that's why we offer the flexibility of either working with the client's own project manager or providing one of our own. Stormotion's project management flow includes these steps: Project Initiation & Planning, Project Executing, Project Controlling, and Project Closing.

 
 

🌎Unveiling Project Discovery

It’s a process that helps organizations identify and evaluate beneficial opportunities and make informed decisions regarding investments, partnerships, and other ventures. It's essential to take this step to achieve company objectives. This step reduces unneeded risks and allocates resources more effectively.

Project Discovery requires active cooperation between teams and stakeholders. Through a combination of interviews, market analysis, and other techniques, project discovery can help you to build a comprehensive understanding of your target market, identify potential partners, and build a strategy for success.

Also, it's important to clearly define your goals and expectations, provide time frames and deadlines, introduce all stakeholders, and present any references or mood boards that have inspired your project vision. Writing down your thoughts helps to define priorities and set clear goals, which makes the tech team's job much easier.

Additionally, it's a good idea to prioritize the project's future features and organize notes in a "must-have/nice-to-have" manner. In this way, the group may concentrate on what is most important while also taking into account any additional suggestions that, while not necessary, may be useful.

 
 

🤔How to Estimate Software Development Time Accurately?

In order to estimate the time required for software development accurately, it’s important to collect information about the project, the requirements, and the technology to be used. You will have a basic understanding of the project after reading this material. Additionally, it aids in resource management and planning, as well as notifying the client of the length of time required to finish the project.

Our team has designed a workflow to accurately estimate software development time. It consists of three main steps:

1. We prepare information about the project from the client, such as mockups, wireframes, use cases, and user stories. During an initial video call, we also discuss the project in general and updated details.
2. With data from the first point, we draw a rough estimate, with a minimum and maximum estimate (or best case and worst-case scenarios).
3. If the client does not have enough information about the project, we may propose a discovery phase, which lasts 1-2 weeks. After this, the client receives a final and more accurate estimate with realistic figures.

🤖Should you Fear Technical Debt?

We want to start this section by saying that technical debt is 100% normal.

A problem that many software developers and businesses deal with is technical debt. Future problems can arise from the accumulation of unfinished tasks, coding shortcuts, and missed deadlines. It gets harder to manage the longer it goes unattended.

Strong development processes must be in place in order to prevent technical debt and keep it under control. To ensure code quality, this entails using automated tests and tools, having clear documentation and coding standards, setting deadlines, and conducting regular code reviews. To keep code current and effective, it is also critical to refactor it over time. Our developers are committed to keeping code current and effective by conducting regular refactoring when necessary.

Overall, technical debt can be a significant issue for businesses and software developers. Without the right procedures and culture, things can easily get out of hand. However, our team can manage technical debt and keep the codebase effective and current by putting the proper measures in place.

 
 

🤝Consistently Supporting Products

The professionals at Stormotion offer free consultations to businesses after the creation of a software program to assist with its post-release maintenance. This includes assisting with budgeting and documentation, and even offering guidance on making the switch from B2B to B2C.

On one occasion in particular, the client contacted us and asked us to make that change and fund it with venture money. They were having trouble finding coaches to satisfy the growing demand. Stormotion estimated the required expenditure and proposed a novel method of coach acquisition.
