The digital realm, especially that of custom digital solution development, is constantly evolving—between fast technological advancements and changing consumer needs, it's quite challenging to predict what the future holds for web players.
It's no coincidence that 60% of digital projects fail! To avoid being part of this statistic, it's essential to rely on a solid software development agency with whom collaboration is easy and transparent.
Identifying and Streamlining Points of Contact
Whether it's a Product Owner (PO), a Product Manager, or a project manager, your software development service provider will assign you a primary contact to oversee and coordinate all project-related activities.
It's also important to appoint a member of your team to act as the project lead. This individual will serve as a direct link between your company and the agency.
A critical point at this stage is to keep the number of stakeholders manageable to avoid any risk of miscommunication, delays, or confusion—basically, to prevent anything that could hinder delivering your project on time and within budget.
Documenting and Communicating
Another crucial element for the success of your software development project is to clearly define and delineate, in partnership with the stakeholders responsible for designing the solution, the project's scope of work. Why? Because without a clear formulation of project expectations and goals, everyone can interpret things differently. Again, this is a potential source of disagreements and misunderstandings detrimental to project completion.
Ensure that all expectations regarding features, budget, objectives, expected outcomes, etc., are well-documented and communicated. By taking the time to do this, you ensure that all stakeholders are on the same page from the start, and that necessary adjustments can be made in real time without surprise or disappointment.
