In the previous review, I listed lousy ways to save money, and perhaps you fell into despair, began to smoke a lot and look with apprehension at the door through which you have to make a budget estimate for the project. This is understandable, no one has rubber budgets, but work needs to be done. And if there is an economy of a smoker, there must be a saving of a healthy person, otherwise what is the point of the exhibit. I'm telling you.
Any application, to put it simply, consists of two basic components - design and functionality. The good news is that you can save on both.
Saving on functionality
There is such a thing called MVP - Minimum Viable Product. That is, the minimum viable product.
You have a super idea. Delivery of oranges in Moscow. You are sure it will blow up the market here and now. You fantasize about a million delivery methods, choosing oranges by weight, size and thickness of the peel. Possibility to apply a company logo and birthday greetings to the orange. Orange bouquets, merch, T-shirts with your company logo and a YouTube collaboration with Sobchak.
This is all, of course, wonderful. But at first, it is wiser to limit yourself to the most minimal set of options, both in business and in the application created for business tasks.
Build a high-quality, scalable, code-sane, and user-friendly application. And let there be only two screens - choose an orange and order delivery to the address. And the third one with your signature chip, for example, putting a name and congratulations on an orange.
All. This is enough to get started and see the reaction of the respected public. Leave the rest of the options, extensions, features and tweaks as points of growth.
You can draw a roadmap and develop the application on it. Q3 2021 - adding the ability to apply a custom print to an orange. Q4 2021 - GPS trekking of the orange courier. Q1 2022 - Creation of a recommendation service for orange varieties ...

Mobile markets are full of hastily filed, unnecessary crooked applications. Why multiply the abyss? Why waste time and budget? Maybe it's better to lay it down for the next year, for example, and do it well afterwards? Better than now and damn it. And for this year, conduct good analytics, choose a worthy team, understand further points of growth and what exactly you need from the application at the initial stage.
In the end, it’s impossible to save more on a project than to give it up completely.
