There must be a proper channel of communication between the entire team. From conveying the idea to the developers to being able to actualize the product, it all depends on communication. Being clear and concise about your vision makes all the difference.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Skipping_MVP\"><\/span><strong>2. Skipping MVP<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>MVP or Minimum Viable Product is your product but with the least possible features. It is an ideal way to test your product in the market before rolling out the actual product with all the features. Feedback from early adopters on the MVP will give you valuable insights on what works, what does not, and how to improve.<\/p>\n<p>Skipping the process of testing an MVP is one of the biggest mistakes a startup can make. Without MVP, you lose the opportunity to understand how well your product works.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Skip_Testing\"><\/span><strong>3. Skip Testing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Testing is an essential part of any product development journey. It is how you improve your user experience. While most do tests, the devil is in the details. Detailed testing might bring out the bugs that may not be visible at first. There are different aspects of a product that you need to test. It includes the speed, usability, performance, installation, localization and integration tests.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Inappropriate_Tech_Stack\"><\/span><strong>4. Inappropriate Tech Stack<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The success and failure of any product development process depends, to a large extent, on the choice of the technology stack. A lot of things could go wrong with a wrong tech stack. You cannot roll out a product running on technology that will soon be obsolete. For your product to endure the test of time, it must be built on the latest technology. Also, the technology you use should be suitable for the size of the user base. If you\u2019re targeting a large number of users, the technology used must be have the potential to support a growing user base.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Working_with_the_Wrong_Developers\"><\/span><strong>5. Working with the Wrong Developers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes that could lead your project south is hiring the wrong development team.
