To initiate the development of your fitness app, you need an engineering team. You can prefer a dedicated team model or choose staff augmentation instead, after which you can move on to planning, writing documentation, designing, web and mobile app development, and testing.
Hire your development team. A flexible and scalable dedicated team will work over your project exclusively. That might be your best option if you are setting up for a long-term project and don't know the exact size of a team you may need. Alternatively, you can handpick and hire several engineering talents to reinforce your existing team.
Plan your budget. The costs for software development services differ depending on where your team resides. The rates of a senior software engineer in the US will be much higher than those of an equally experienced app developer from an outsourcing destination.
Also, consider paid tools, software, or hardware that your developers may require. To finalize your project roadmap, decide on the goals of the MVP stage, the resources you will need initially, and the cost of scaling your team up if your project will grow.
Prepare documentation. When creating a fitness app's technical documentation, your should make sure that all technical specifications are mapped out based on the requirements. Platform types, app use cases, user features, and other technical information are indispensable for a fitness app development team to start building your solution.
Think over UI/UX design. If you are unsure about how to arrange features in your app, make it interactive and user-friendly, you may opt for the assistance of a
UI/UX consultant for your project. And if you are experimenting with product offers and your target audience, a web design consulting specialist will help strategize your success.
Keep quality assurance in mind. Before publishing your app to a store, check every aspect twice and more. According to global statistics, engineers waste 620 million hours yearly on software debugging, and 62 percent of users uninstall glitchy apps. You definitely don't want to lose your app users to bugs that can be rooted out before the release.
