App Development at Blackbelt Labs

What To Expect

Our Delivery Process

Featured

A one day workshop with your entire team gives us in-depth insights into your point of view and learnings.
We establish a common working mode and define what success means for us as a team.
A key task of the workshop is to map out the current and desired customer journey for your product or service.
Together we then review the product status and go deep into any existing designs, code and delivery pipelines.

App Prototyping Sprint

Prototyping your app ideas is the most cost-effective and fastest way to validate your assumptions.
Within a few days we iterate through stages from discovery to prototype implementation and user testing.
Basis for the discovery phase is the customer journey we identified in our initial workshop.
The goal is to come up with a prototype which is the foundation for the first minimum app implementation.

Launch Sprint

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a loaded term - we define it as the minimum version of the app that can be launched to real users.
Based on the validated prototypes for the initial app we help you develop the first native or web-based version of your product.
Once the initial MVP is launched we keep iterating in the same mode with every major new feature by first prototyping and user testing and then implementing lean feature versions.

Optimization Sprint

The first launch of your app is minimal in order to reduce risk and receive real user feedback as early as possible.
Actively listening to the feedback and reacting in the form of continuous optimizations is crucial.
Before experimenting with new features, every MVP phase should be followed by careful optimization and bug fixing.

We don't start from scratch

Our Packages

We are constantly facing similar challenges with the products we are working on. We have therefore packaged our app development expertise into defined processes and ready-to-use components. Those can be booked at fixed rates and give you a head-start for your next app launch.

End-to-end encryption for your app

Is your app working with sensitive medical, legal or propietary data?
We have ready-to-use components to ensure your user's data is end-to-end encrypted.
In collaboration with Heidelberg University we have developed a framework for handling of medical data gathered in research surveys.

Internationalization of your app

You have traction in your home market and plan to go global?
We helped products succeed at the complex task of internationalizing their apps.
You will not only have to localize any existing assets and user facing components but also have to put a continuous process in place. Every future change to the app has to go through translation and review processes.
