Now, this is the part where doing your homework pays off. If you took the time to complete chapter 7\u2019s wireframe cataloging activity, you already have a major head start on listing the requirements, features, and functionality you want to include in your app. The natural next step here is to consolidate each of the elements, key features, and integrations you listed below each of your wireframes into one comprehensive requirements document. But before we do, I\u2019d like to remind you that we\u2019re still striving to create an MVP of your app\u2014the leanest, most simple version of your product to test with your audience.<\/p>\n

The more requirements and features you have, the more costly this will be to build. Prioritizing features can be a tough task because each requirement may feel like it plays a key part in your vision. However, feelings aren\u2019t necessarily facts. Ask yourself: Do you really want to spend thousands more on an array of features that aren\u2019t essential to proving your concept or running your business and that you aren\u2019t 100 percent sure your customers will love?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a big risk to take! \u201cWhen it comes to building a start-up, perfect product specifications don\u2019t exist; things change too rapidly. Help the dev team understand the why and where you are hoping to get to. Then guide them to fill in on the how.\u201d2 ~Dan Kihanya, Director REI Path Ahead Ventures, Creator of Founders Unfound Podcast To make the selection process a little easier I\u2019d like to introduce you to the MoSCoW method,3 a prioritization technique that helps you trim the fat by categorizing every one of your app\u2019s requirements into four categories.<\/p>\n

Your must-haves are your nonnegotiables; you need them to run the app, to be compliant, and for the app to be legal or make money. Then you have your should-haves; these are requirements that would be amazing features, but they\u2019re simply not vital. The difference between them and the next category is that they tend to be points of distinction and differentiators, but at the end of the day, they\u2019re still not essential to the bottom line of your app.<\/p>\n

Could-haves are nice complements, but they\u2019re just garnishes to your musts and should-haves. If you find you have extra money in the budget, these could be good add-ons.<\/p>\n

This book is dedicated to all the dreamers who became doers, the self-starters, and those who are committed to making it happen. I see you. You are worthy. Your ideas have power. I can\u2019t wait to see them take form. Thank you to my family\u2014Dad, Mom, Dee, and Mira. Being a part of our unit is a blessing.<\/p>\n

I could not have asked for a greater gift. And last but not least to my community of friends, colleagues, and counterparts who supported, contributed, and offered guidance in the production of this project. Thank you for believing in my vision. I am eternally grateful. OceanofPDF.com Introduction Prepare to Build I\u2019m a publicist by trade. I didn\u2019t go to school to be a developer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m honestly not sure I\u2019ve ever written a full line of code in my life. Well, outside of Myspace. Shout-out to Tom! Yet, I\u2019ve created and turned a profit from apps that have been downloaded by thousands of people around the world, and I believe that you can too. It\u2019s important for me to be transparent about who I am and why I\u2019m doing this. I\u2019m not here to sell you on some shoddy guarantee that you\u2019ll become an app store millionaire overnight or to give you some sleazy magic bean upsell.<\/p>\n

I am at my core an entrepreneur who happens to be passionate about helping people actualize their ideas. I graduated from college at the height of the Great Recession and didn\u2019t have the money or the resources to build the brick-and-mortar business of my dreams. So I turned to apps because I believed that even if I didn\u2019t know a thing about building them, they were the quickest and most affordable and accessible means for me to become an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

I still believe this now. I wrote this book because I get a constant stream of emails and letters from people who have app ideas but have no clue where to start, or who have taken the leap to start building an app themselves but are running into some costly challenges that could have likely been avoided if they would have had some insight into what to expect before they got started.<\/p>\n

I Have an App Idea is my \u201creply all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
