How to estimate a mobile project in a proper way?

Every solid house was once built on a solid basement. Hypothetically speaking, what is a basement of the actionable mobile app startup? Many might say (and actually get it almost right) that an unshakable software system is the basement and the success guarantee for a young startup, where mobile app development cost is of importance. However, it is not. At least not entirely. As every development has an estimation process behind it, the one that defines the course of the future development process and also gives an answer to “How much does it cost to develop a mobile app?” question. How to optimize the estimation process so that you get off cheap? As we casually get to estimate mobile projects, here is some actionable advice we would love to share.

In the world we live in things work in a different order though.

The first thing that needs to be done when trying to estimate the app development process is to ensure that mobile app developers are clearly in tune and fully understand the whole project’s requirements. This understanding is not an instantly obtained feature which is why in Mind Studios we do have the full-length stage of business analysis to start with.
