5 key factors that impact the timeline for launching a low-code app

Low-code app development has revolutionized the way businesses create and launch new applications. We understand that time-to-market is critical, and we've developed a process that simplifies app development while ensuring the highest quality results. To help you make the process smooth-running, we've put together a list of 5 key factors that impact the timeline for launching a low-code app, along with some helpful strategies based on how Swiftle approaches low-code app development.

Discovery (2-3 days)

The discovery phase is the first step in low-code app development. We ensure agreement on requirements to establish budget and timeline expectations. The estimation manager collaborates with the client to finalize the exact specifications. To optimize this phase, you should have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with the app. That’s why we have compiled an article that outlines the 7 crucial features you must be aware of to develop a high-quality low-code app.

Scoping (1-2 days)

Following the discovery phase, the next step in low-code app development is scoping. This crucial phase involves defining the app's requirements and creating a comprehensive project plan that outlines the necessary resources and timelines. Here it is essential to have a clear understanding of the app's goals and objectives, as well as the resources needed to achieve them.

Design (3-7 days)

During the design phase of low-code app development, the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) are created, shaping the app's look and feel. The UX designer creates accurate Figma mockups and works closely with both the project manager and the client to obtain approval for all screens. To optimize this critical phase, it is essential to have a deep understanding of the app's target audience and their preferences what our team can help you with.

Build (2-3 weeks)

Our skilled development team utilizes the low-code platform to build your app according to the project plan and design specifications, ensuring a well organised and efficient development process. We integrate multiple APIs, such as Calendly, Stripe, Sendgrid, including Chat GPT-4! Also, we offer regular updates on the progress of the project and maintain open lines of communication to ensure that the app fulfills your expectations, and daily reports in addition to calls with your designated project manager while tracking progress on our platform.

Review and Launch (1 week)

The review and launch process is the final phase of low-code app development. During this phase, the app is tested, and necessary adjustments are made before launching it. To make the most of this crucial phase, it's important to ensure that the testing process is thorough, and all potential bugs and issues are identified and resolved before launch.

Launching a low-code app requires a strategic approach to ensure a successful and timely release.
