A step-by-step guide to starting up
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007Ok, so you’ve got an idea, you’ve got a limited budget and you want to start your own company. To keep control of costs you’ve decided to off-shore the development. Now what do you do? How do you go from idea to launched system?
In this post I’ll detail your first steps towards launch. By the end of it you’ll know how to build a mock-up of your business idea and write the most important document you’ll write for the company: your functional specification.
For a simple system this process should take you a month. For a complex build there will be a lot more research and your mock-up and functional specification will be big, budget 3 months of full-time work.
You may also find it useful to look at my overview of starting-up post, first in this series.
