Frequently asked questions

How do you handle project timelines and deadlines?

At the start of the project, we establish an overarching timeline with key milestones. Regular sprint planning and review meetings ensure that we are consistently aligned with these milestones. During these meetings, we assess progress, address any challenges, and adjust our plan as needed to meet the deadlines.

What is your approach to a development project?

We use agile methodologies in our development projects and our approach is centred around flexibility and collaboration.

We begin with a comprehensive discovery phase, where we work closely with you to understand your goals, target audience, and functional requirements. This phase sets the foundation for the project.

Following this, we break down the project into smaller, manageable iterations or 'sprints.' Each sprint focuses on a specific set of features or functionalities, allowing for rapid development.

How does Distinction ensure the security and privacy of AI implementations?

Security and privacy are paramount in all our work, not just that involving AI.

We adhere to industry best practices and comply with relevant regulations like GDPR to ensure data protection.

Our solutions are designed with robust security measures, including data encryption, secure data storage, and regular security audits. We also implement strict access controls and data governance policies to safeguard your information and ensure that privacy is maintained throughout the AI implementation process.

What are the key components or features of an MVP?

The key components of an MVP include just enough features to satisfy (ideally delight) early customers and provide feedback for future product development.

The essential features are those that solve the core problem for your target audience, which obviously vary from product to product.

The MVP should include a basic user interface, essential functionalities to test the primary hypothesis, and enough value to make the user interested in the product. 'Enough value' is a subjective measure, and will also vary from product to product.

It should also be able to collect user feedback effectively for future improvements. The focus should be on simplicity and the minimum set of features to address the primary need of your target market.

What is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and why is it important?

A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a development technique where a new product is introduced with basic features to satisfy (ideally delight) early adopters.

The main goal of an MVP is to quickly gather user feedback to iterate and improve the product.

It's crucial because it allows businesses to test a product hypothesis with minimal resources, reduce time to market, and avoid long and potentially unnecessary work.

An MVP helps in identifying the interest of the target audience and gathers valuable insights about customers' needs and preferences, which can guide future development.

We elaborate on this in our guide to MVPs.

What specific technologies and frameworks do you use?

We're agnostic. We use a range of modern technologies tailored to the project's needs, including:

  • Modern front-end technologies such as React, Vue, NextJS and Tailwind CSS
  • Leading backend technologies including .NET, Java and PHP
  • Native mobile development using Swift, React Native, Kotlin and Flutter
  • Scalable database services including Azure SQL, CosmosDB, MongoDB and others
  • Composable CMS platforms such as Kontent.ai, Sanity, Prismic and Payload CMS
  • Best of need DXP systems such as Umbraco, Kentico and WordPress
  • Codeless prototyping solutions such as Webflow and Retool

This enables us to choose the right technology stack that aligns with the project's goals and the long-term vision.

What's the approach towards creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and how does it evolve into a full digital product?

Creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) involves identifying and implementing the core functionalities that showcase the product's value, then launching to get user feedback to evolve the product.

The evolution from MVP to a full-fledged digital product is a structured process that entails iterative design, user testing, and feedback incorporation.

This iterative process ensures that the product continually improves and aligns with market demands, eventually culminating in a well-rounded digital product
