Technical Perspectives
Custom software starts with the right problem.
A custom system should address a clear gap in the way your team works. Start by comparing the limits of your current tools with the cost, ownership, and maintenance responsibilities of a new build.
// Focus
Areas to consider.
- Custom software vs SaaS
- MVP scoping and architecture
- Internal tools and dashboards
- Builder-led execution decisions
// Questions to Ask
Before you commit to a build.
- Which workflow no longer fits the tools you use today?
- What is the smallest release that would be useful to the team?
- Could an existing service meet the requirement?
- Who will maintain the system and own the code?
