Plan your SaaS MVP.
Start with what matters.
How to plan a first release before requesting a development quote.
Turn a product idea into a clear workflow, a defined set of permissions and checks that show when it is ready.
Choose one user. Solve one clear problem.
Describe who the product is for and the outcome they need. Keep the first release focused on that job.
A service portal: submit a request, assign an owner and track progress.
Define the essential workflow.
Map the journey from the first action to the finished result. Move optional features into a later release.
Include missing information, duplicate submissions and failed notifications.
Decide who can see and change what.
Define the customer, team and admin roles. Keep each organisation’s records and files separate.
Enforce permissions in the backend, including invitations and account recovery.
Give every integration a clear purpose.
List the payment, email, database and API connections you need. Define what information moves and when.
Agree how failed requests, repeated callbacks and conflicting records are handled.
Know what the estimate includes.
Agree the screens, workflows, testing and handover. Separate development costs from hosting and subscriptions.
Share your budget and target date. CodesKitchen confirms pricing after scope review.
Make “finished” easy to verify.
Write checks for each important task. Test permissions, mobile layouts, validation and failure cases.
A customer can submit and track a request, but cannot open another customer’s records.
Be ready to operate the product.
Agree account ownership, deployment, backups and support. Start with a small pilot group and collect feedback.
Use completed tasks and real user problems to decide what to build next.
