FOR STARTUPS

Build the first version your team can run

Ship one complete product workflow with the roles, admin tools, and integrations you need to operate it. I build the first release around what users will actually do, with a way for your team to support them.

Build the product and the tools to run it

A focused first release

Choose one valuable action a real user can complete. Scope the screens and integrations needed to make that workflow usable.

Roles and permissions

Separate what customers, operators, and admins can see and do. Test those permissions with scenarios from the first release.

Admin and support tools

Let your team see account activity and resolve issues without waiting on a developer to look up every record.

One product with two workspaces

Dasha Smart

Dasha Smart driver and admin workspaces

I built a daily workspace for drivers and a separate admin area for the team operating the product. The admin view includes activity, driver records, and subscriptions.

A product workflow you can operate

  1. Onboard

    Give the first users a clear way in

  2. Use

    Complete the action the product is built for

  3. Support

    Give your team a view of what needs attention

Decide what belongs in the first release

  1. Choose a real user

    Identify the first type of user, what brings them to the product, and the action that shows they got value.

  2. Define how you will operate it

    Decide who manages access and what your team needs to see when a user gets stuck.

  3. Put it in front of early users

    Review the working flow with the people who will use it and the team that will support it. Use those findings to scope the next release.

Common questions

Can you build from a prototype or an existing codebase?

Yes. I review the existing screens, code, and constraints with you, then scope what can be reused and what is required for a complete release.

What should I build first for an MVP?

Choose a single user and one workflow with a clear outcome. Include the permission and support tools needed to run it. Defer other user types and automation until the first workflow has been tested.

How do we scope cost and timing?

Start with the workflow, roles, integrations, and existing assets. I can then estimate a first release against specific deliverables and acceptance criteria.
