Product Development & Web EngineeringWeb/Mobile Development

Web / Mobile Engineering

Customers are increasingly engaging online via an evolving set of devices like smartphones, tablets and car/household equipment. Studies by Morgan Stanley and Forrester forecast that by 2014 more people will access the internet with mobile devices than with desktops.

Customers are more empowered then ever before. They expect identical brand experiences across all customer touchpoints and require you to earn a seat in their social media living room. This means your product strategy should go beyond a website and cover innovative solutions that support your customers and carry your brand across multiple devices, platforms and channels.

While devices with Camera, GPS, NFC and Accelerometer allow for rich user experiences like Location Based Services, QR/Barcode Scanning, Mobile Payments and Augmented Reality, the variety of operating systems, screen sizes and interaction models also introduce new design and development challenges.

I help you overcome these challenges by creating product development strategies that guarantee cross-platform, high availability, responsive solutions. Using trends, best practices, design patterns, competitor analysis and divergent thinking, I deliver creative product ideas, quality engineering and leadership.

Internet Marketing StrategyInternet Marketing

Internet Marketing

Internet Marketing, also known as digital marketing, web marketing, online marketing, search marketing or e-marketing, is the collection of all activities that deal with promoting your products and services over the internet and engaging your customers online.

A common mistake made in many internet projects is that internet marketing is considered way to late in the product development cycle. It is like building a product not knowing if there is actually a market for it.

Internet marketing is crucial in your overall strategy and should be involved from day one in any project. Know what people are looking for, build minimum viable products, get feedback and iterate!

I consult you through the various disciplines that internet marketing involves, find qualified experts for each discipline and coordinate the marketing and development teams efforts to maximize results.

Internet Project ManagementLean Startups

Internet Project Management

The digital revolution tells businesses more than ever to prioritize customer satisfaction and to reduce waste. This requires product engineering and project management practices that advocate lower development costs, faster time to market and higher quality.

The Lean Startup movement is transforming the way products are built and launched. It advocates the creation of minimum viable products designed to validate your market assumptions and uses customer feedback to evolve products much faster than via more traditional software engineering practices.

Lean Startups are powered by trends in open source software, agile development methods and customer-centric iteration, known as Customer Development. Compared to more traditional project management methods, this allows for better managing of projects with constant changes in software requirements.

I help you manage these projects using agile development methods, like Scrum. Scrum is an iterative method of determining software requirements and delivering projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner.

I can help you initiate up the environment for Scrum product development and in any of the main Scrum roles:

  1. Product Owner
    Representing the voice of the customer.
  2. Scrum Master
    Facilitating for the team to deliver.
  3. Team Member
    Delivering the product.
