At Interspark, we’ve perfected transforming innovative ideas into tangible, market-ready Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). Our secret sauce? A specially crafted framework, modified from the robust Feature-Driven Development (FDD) methodology. In this blog, we’ll delve into the intricacies of our approach, highlighting how our unique framework empowers us to deliver exceptional MVPs that exceed client expectations.
The Foundation: Feature-Driven Development (FDD)
FDD, developed by Peter Coad and Jeff De Luca, is an iterative and incremental software development process. It focuses on delivering functional features that provide tangible value to end-users. Our team at Interspark has carefully adapted and refined FDD to create a bespoke framework tailored to MVP development.
Interspark’s Modified FDD Framework for MVP Development
Our proprietary framework consists of five interconnected phases, each designed to ensure the efficient creation of a market-ready MVP:
- Domain Walkthrough
- Objective: Immersive understanding of the client’s business domain and project vision
- Activities:
- In-depth discussions with stakeholders
- Market research and analysis
- Identification of key performance indicators (KPIs)
- Features List Creation
- Objective: Prioritized list of essential features for the MVP
- Activities:
- Collaborative feature brainstorming with clients
- Feature categorization (must-haves, nice-to-haves, etc.)
- Estimation of feature complexity and development time
- Development by Feature
- Objective: Iterative development of prioritized features
- Activities:
- Feature-specific design and prototyping
