Project Timeline

In general, a timeline is a chronological list of events that have occurred or will occur. And the project timelines are no different — they tell you which task to perform and how long it will take. 

Often, you might be under pressure to complete the project or get it completed in record time while you and your team might find it impossible. 

In such cases, learning how to create a project schedule that is acceptable to all stakeholders is an important project management skill that you need to manage your project effectively. 

Therefore, you’d want to define timelines smartly as they would improve communication because everyone knows what to expect and the project’s current status. 

They work as great visibility tools, too, especially when it comes to seeing a lot of data at a glance and getting a clear picture of project management dependencies and task priorities.

Milestones

We always suggest our clients divide the scope into several milestones, and the various elements are grouped according to their function and position in the timeline. 

In our experience, we have seen that doing this allows you to explicitly approve or reject individual milestones as complete or incomplete. Moreover, by finalising milestones in a predefined sequence, your development team can establish the basic rule that you cannot start the next milestone until the previous milestone is completed and approved. 

Plus, to plan your budget better, you should ask your development partner to estimate the delivery date for each milestone. Software development can always have unexpected delays, but at least you will have a baseline in terms of budget — so there won’t be any monetary harm if anything gets delayed.

Technology Stack

The technology stack, also known as the solution stack, is a collection of software services used to develop applications for those of you who are new to the app development sphere. 

Commonly there are some software-based results that developers can create. That is, the technical stack types are just as diverse. 

For one, the web stack requires software that is specifically needed to develop web applications. On the other hand, the application stack requires a variety of different software to ensure the operation of the application and software that is part of the infrastructure of the application’s current environment. 

Here, the main focus is on mobile stack categories such as: 

  • The front end, also known as client-side development. It refers to the development of an interface that interacts with the end-user. 
  • Backend is a data access layer related to the database, the script, website architecture, and server-side development in general. 
  • Development that guides us to tools that provide libraries and interfaces for building applications. 
  • The main idea of ​​providing support, security, high functionality, and long-term improvements in the future.

Since some agencies use older technology stacks to develop their products, we’d recommend you to do your research to see if the recommendations you’ve received from your agency are the latest and best performing tech stacks.

Knowing how and why a tech stack is being used makes it a lot easier for you to understand and alter the application as the time comes in the future.
