I'm tired of hearing stories like "We chose a contractor to develop a mobile app, spent 1.5 million, and got no results." Or recently, the creator of the wholesale marketplace Wikkeo shared the problems he faced during the project development https://youtu.be/7vDHVa3ZrMg?si=Aos4iJ-6VbMaqs3F. In short, a large amount of budget and time was wasted, amounting to millions of rubles and months of work. And this story about app development was shared by the founder of one of the well-known coffee chains in Novosibirsk. I hear these kinds of stories very often. And the saddest part is the helplessness — knowing that there's nothing you can do to help them because they've already paid for their experience. Even more depressing is that those who haven't fallen into these traps yet often don't even consider the possibility of ending up in the same situation and taking precautions in advance. It's like with insurance: until someone's house burns down nearby, no one thinks about buying insurance. Almost everyone knows about insuring their home, but hardly anyone knows about risk mitigation tools to prevent money loss during development 🤷‍♂️

Summary

Many entrepreneurs and businesses face costly failures in app development, often losing significant budgets and time without achieving desired results. The story of the wholesale marketplace Wikkeo highlights how millions of rubles and months of work can be wasted due to poor planning and execution. Similarly, a well-known coffee chain founder in Novosibirsk shared his own challenging experience, emphasizing the prevalence of such issues across various industries. These stories reveal a common sense of helplessness among those affected, as they realize too late that their investments did not yield expected outcomes. The core problem lies in a lack of proactive risk management and preventive measures, akin to neglecting insurance until disaster strikes. Many businesses underestimate the importance of risk mitigation tools during development, which could prevent financial losses and project failures. The article underscores the need for strategic planning, thorough risk assessment, and preventive strategies in app development to avoid costly mistakes and ensure successful project outcomes. Awareness and early precautions are crucial to safeguarding investments and achieving long-term success in digital projects.
