Creating software requires using tools like clickable demos and wireframes to bring a vision to life. Likewise, these tools provide a canvas upon which to refine that vision. There are many ways to make the most of these tools. Thus, we will start with a definition and then move on to how to make them work for you as a developer or a customer. Clickable Demos and Wireframes Defined These two ways to build and demonstrate software are so common …
Modern software development often involves a minimum viable product (MVP), proof-of-concept (POC), or other partial or incremental solutions. These approaches embrace the reality of software being difficult and time-consuming to produce but highly valuable for the users. The tactic is a form of the Pareto principle where the focus is on getting a large amount of functionality delivered quickly. Thus, we must be intentional about building these out so they can benefit us (and our customers) now and in the …
One of the most challenging facets of building software is determining where to spend our time. Demos and walk-throughs are one of those areas that can be overlooked in the chase to save time. However, they are essential in communicating progress and gathering feedback. These require time and attention from everyone on the team, so let’s look at ways to ensure we get the most out of this investment.
