Live talk: Use developer readiness plans to build mobile apps faster

One way to succeed at outsourcing software development is to kickoff with a clear developer readiness plan. In our first Codingscape live technology talk, Lauren Mason Carris (product leader and experience designer) and Will Shappee (senior software developer) talk about how to create a developer readiness plan to build a mobile app

They’ve both been building mobile apps for decades and know a well-structured plan to get your outsourced team working fast is key to a successful project.

Benefits of developer readiness plans

  • Increased productivity – Streamline development processes and reduce time spent on administrative tasks.
  • Improved code quality – Ensure code is well-written, maintainable, and free from defects.
  • Faster time-to-market – Deliver projects more quickly and efficiently, enabling businesses to respond to market changes faster.
  • Reduced risk of delays – Prevent delays and disruptions by addressing potential issues upfront.
  • Enhanced team morale and satisfaction – Create a supportive and efficient working environment for developers.

Here’s a quick summary of what’s included in a developer readiness plan. 

Essential parts of your developer readiness plan

Developer accounts and access

  • Provide developers with necessary access to GitHub repositories, project management tools (Jira, Asana), and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP).

Up-to-date readme file

  • A comprehensive readme file should include instructions for setting up the development environment, running the project, and understanding the project's structure.

Backend information

  • Detailed documentation of APIs, database schemas, and server configurations.

UI/UX design

  • High-fidelity mockups or prototypes that clearly define the app's visual elements and user flows.

At Codingscape, we include these (and more) in our kickoff checklist every time we work with a partner to build mobile apps.

How do I hire senior engineers to build my mobile app?

You could spend the next 6-18 months planning to recruit and build an internal mobile app team, but you won’t be building any new apps. That’s why Codingscape exists. 

We can assemble a senior development team to start building your mobile app in 4-6 weeks. It’ll be faster to get started, more cost-efficient than internal hiring, and we’ll deliver high-quality results quickly.

 Zappos, Twilio, and Veho are just a few companies that trust us to build their software and systems with a remote-first approach.

You can schedule a time to talk with us here. No hassle, no expectations, just answers.
