not just implement features
Problem
Does the challenge you are trying to solve really exist? We use the Design Thinking methodology to discover user needs or pain points, identify gaps in competitor products, and come up with unique solutions that the market is missing.
01Solution
What solution will satisfy customer needs and works for your business? Use the most cost-effective methods that consume minimum time to build an early product version. All so you could spend less on development and validate the idea quickly.
02 Product development is about discovery and delivery.
The goal of discovery is to develop the right product. The goal of delivery is to develop a product in the right way.
You can count on us to do both.

Explore our product development process
Product success workshop
Duration: 2 weeks
We help you validate ideas as early as possible to ensure their ultimate success. This starts with documenting the product requirements. After the initial analysis, we proceed to user research, competitor analysis, and rapid prototyping. The idea is to validate the solution before writing a single line of code. Another priority is to identify the possible risks and success metrics, learning how your solution could outcompete the alternatives.
Outcomes: Lean/Value Proposition Canvas, product wireframes, rough roadmap & costs, market research, user personas, solution proposal.
Design & validation
Duration: 4–8 weeks
Product discovery isn't a one-time activity. Our designers and architects work iteratively to detail its every aspect. We focus on testing assumptions in real-world conditions with focus groups and user surveys. This helps to prioritize the key features. A work breakdown structure (WBS) allows the team to estimate the project costs. You can then sign the development contract or take the project to another company.
Outcomes: high-fidelity prototype & testing, solution architecture, WBS, product roadmap, cost estimate, risk mitigation plan.
Development & QA
Duration: 2–4 weeks per iteration
We develop your product using an iterative Scrum approach. Every team member focuses on making the product work instead of delivering this or that feature. You, too, can attend our daily meetings or get weekly status updates. Early validation is still a priority, each iteration ends with a live demo. We also try to collect feedback from real users as early as possible to understand what works and what doesn't.
Outcomes: beta user testing, working features delivered with each iteration.
Launch
A product manager helps you determine an optimal release date. When the launch is set in stone, we help you make the necessary preparations. This includes checklists and training for your staff, service-level agreements, marketing consulting, and setting up all analytical tools. As soon as the product goes live, we start tracking the success metrics and collecting user feedback.
Product growth
Duration: 2–4 weeks per iteration
Iterative development continues along with user testing until your product reaches the maturity stage. The team fixes any remaining bugs, collects feedback, and manages change. We may involve data analysts to track success metrics and user actions and prepare a next-action plan based on the data.
Support and maintenance
You can delegate the support to another team or stay with MindK. This phase usually lasts until the product must be retired or improved to stay relevant.

FAQ
- What are the typical timelines for different projects?
Timelines can vary quite a bit based on the project’s scope and complexity. For a small MVP that tests an idea, you’re looking at around 2–4 months.
A more complex application can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months and more to develop. The timeline also depends on things like integration with other systems and scope changes. The good news is, we work in sprints (usually, 2-week cycles). So, you’ll see progress regularly and have chances to provide feedback throughout.
- What pricing models do you use?
We primarily use two engagement models: Time & Material and Fixed Price.
- Fixed Price works best when the project scope is clear from the start and unlikely to change. You get a defined cost for a well-defined outcome.
- Time & Material is a bit more flexible. You pay based on the actual hours worked, which means you can iterate and adapt to changing requirements.
- What happens if my needs change during the project?
Change is normal, and we expect it! We use an Agile approach, which means we build in iterations and constantly seek user feedback.
If something needs to change, we’ll discuss how it impacts the timeline and budget, and make the adjustments together. It’s all about collaboration to ensure we build the product that truly meets your needs.
- How do you ensure high scalability and security?
For scalability, we design products using cloud services like AWS or Azure. These services offer load balancing, distributed databases, and auto-scaling features. We also build using a modular architecture. So, parts of your product can scale independently.
For security, we follow best practices like encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. These technical measures are enforced using cloud-native tools and infrastructure as code. The same tools make it easier to comply with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.
We also stay updated with security trends and apply industry-standard protocols, especially if your product deals with sensitive data.
- What kind of post-launch support does MindK provide?
Post-launch, we offer a few different support options:
- Feature updates, maintenance, performance optimizations, and bug fixes to keep your product running smoothly.
- Training & onboarding for your team.
- Ongoing support packages – from addressing critical issues to proactive monitoring and improvements.
- How do you measure product success?
Before development starts, we define specific metrics that are most relevant to the client’s business. After the release, our team starts tracking these KPIs to make product decisions based on hard data.
These success metrics are diverse:
- Business metrics: average revenue per account, lifetime value, A/MRR, churn, NPS, and so on.
- User adoption: how quickly new users are signing up, using features, or engaging with the product.
- Performance: system stability, speed, and performance under different loads.
- Client satisfaction: meeting expectations of end-users and stakeholders.
