How To Assemble A Good Software Development Team ?

It is almost impossible to handle project right from beginning of development stages till its completion single handedly . This would obvious result in completion of project at lower cost , but will that deliver quality work to ? Obviously not , custom software development is not a one person job in case you are looking for quality work on time .

The development of software application right from scratch involved different task to be completed by different person and its not doable to complete it by a single person . That is the reason a good software development team is the one which have specialist right from Project Manager , UI/UX designer , Web developer and  QA and testing specialist .

Project Manager 

Right from our childhood we need a team leader whose advise we always love to follow . Likewise in custom software development process also there is a mandatory need of team leader who must specify the team goal from time to time and have a regular check for its accomplishment . 

While talking about software development , that specific person is known to be project manager . According to Winklix , a perfect project manager is the one with following quality :

• Good communication skills to communicate with customers
• Perfect experience of scheduling project and time estimates according to current work flow.
• Capable of carrying on joint work with other team members .
• Planning out necessary Human Resource and task allocation 

The top most priority or we can say task of any project manager is human to human interaction with a leadership skills , at the same time should also be capable enough for listening to inputs from other members of team .

UI / UX Designer

Before starting any development process , the design are represented in layouts and wireframes . And even before than user experience process is need to be carried on in order to best understand the future of web apps target audience . The UI and UX demonstrates the future of would be app and its must be user friendly as ultimate user of the app is user itself .

Usually creating a few variant of future user interface will give a brief overview of the interface , making them better with every review section - and finally overcoming with the most viable one .

So while choosing the right person for UI and UX design , you will choose the person will skills of open mindset , his ability to understand should be powerful with awesome graphics designing skills .

Don't ever think of of getting in UI/UX with front end developer . Although interconnected , UI/UX design and its implementation requires different skills for completion of different task .

Software Developer

While talking about software developers , there are always 2 components - a back end and a front end - and there should be atleast one developer who should be responsible for both of them . Front end developers are the one who works on the layout provided by the UI designer and has the ability of transforming static images into fully functional web app with the skillset of HTML5 , CSS , Javascript and other front end libraries and frameworks ( Bootstrap , Angular , React JS etc .) 

Back-end Developer are basically known to be server side experts with technical skills of PHP , Python , Java , .NET or Ruby on Rails together with tools and frameworks supporting these technologies . They also have a role of database developer to handle database structuring , and other server side integration .

QA And Testing Specialist 

QA is the one which should be started at the beginning of project . Testing , however is more closely linked with product , so it makes sense to have have it started as soon as very first beta version of the software is available for testing .

Testing specialist should have the capability of testing software from each technical angle . The most important part that all testers lacks to test functionality of software on different web browsers , which in the future will create problem in user experience and can also lead to project back .

Takeaway

So your future custom software development team should consist of UI/UX designer , front end and back end developer together with QA and testing person in order to improve the overall experience of the development of software .
