They evaluate the market, understand customer preferences, and collect user feedback to refine your product concept, aligning it with your envisioned goals and objectives before moving forward with development.
MARKET ANALYSIS
By delving into market trends, industry dynamics, and market volume calculations, the PM assists you in understanding how the industry works, its growth potential, and the available opportunities for your product.

Persona development is a collaborative effort that ensures these personas are grounded in accurate data by identifying user characteristics from research. Relying on these personas, our team will further build the interface and marketing strategies.
Hypothesis validation
As we collect sufficient client data, we will naturally develop hypotheses. DashDevs’ team records these ideas and then collaboratively refines and selects the most suitable ones with you. We validate all assumptions and hypotheses thoroughly, taking into account Business Analysis, UX, and IT Architecture perspectives. This step is crucial because a product built on unverified assumptions is likely to fail.
Product feasibility testing
Successful discoveries ensure that solution that client wants can be built with the available technologies. Our mission is to check if your idea can become reality. The experts determine whether it’s technically possible and what steps are required to make it happen.
prototyping
Our team creates a functional product prototype. It can be simple or complex as long as it demonstrates the core features effectively. This step is crucial for thorough hypothesis testing and improvement before committing significant resources. The prototype can be used for more sufficient fund raising.
Proof of concept creation
Proof-of-concept helps to prove that solution you want to build could actually be build. Development PoC helps to check the technical aspects and provides potential investors with reliable proof of product progress and feasibility. The prototype helps us to prove the concept works technically and identifies potential technical issues.
requirements gathering & prioritisation
We kickstart the requirements-gathering process with collaborative workshops, where we dive into your vision and goals. Then, we communicate with users to understand their needs, meticulously document requirements, prioritize them, and construct a comprehensive project roadmap to guide the development journey.
product design
At this stage, we offer different levels of detail depending on your needs, including low-fidelity wireframes, high-fidelity wireframes, and design systems tailored to your preferences. We use data, not guesses, to make design choices, aiming to create a user-centric design that provides a great experience.
technology assessment
A thorough assessment includes performance, scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness evaluation. Based on this analysis, we suggest a technology stack tailored to your project’s needs, encompassing frameworks, databases, etc. We also consider future growth, ensuring that the technologies seamlessly support scalability as your user base expands.
