There are several different paths to consider when assessing your product development options. In our experience, there are five –each with varying costs and responsibilities. Let's break it down.
Option 1
The first and least expensive way to get your app or technology built is to learn to code. You can do it!
Option 2
The second option to build an app is to use offshore, nearshore or overseas development. This is a cost saving option, but there can be alignment issues.
Option 3
The third option involves hiring contractors and freelancers. This takes project management and organization to bring people together around your idea.
Option 4
The fourth option is to hire your own product team. This requires work to create a culture and get people excited about your idea, but the longterm payoff is a dedicated team.
Option 5
The fifth and final option to get your app off the ground is to hire a product agency. The quality and speed is worth it.
