How to choose the right software development partner

Choosing who builds your product is one of the most important decisions you will make. The right partner helps you ship faster and avoid costly mistakes; the wrong one can cost months. Use this checklist to compare your options.

The checklist

• Relevant portfolio – look for similar projects and ask what role they played in each.

• A clear process – discovery, planning, design, development, testing and launch should all be part of the plan.

• Communication – how fast do they reply, and who will be your main point of contact?

• Transparent pricing – estimates should explain what is included, with no surprise invoices.

• Quality practices – code reviews, testing and cross-device checks should be standard.

• Support after launch – ask what happens when something needs fixing after go-live.

• Ownership – make sure you own your code, designs and accounts.

Questions to ask on the first call

1. Can you walk me through a similar project you delivered?

2. How will we track progress and give feedback?

3. What is included in the estimate, and what is not?

4. How do you handle changes in scope?

5. What support do you offer after launch?
