Key issues of 360° communication at the development stage of a digital project
Discovery phase
Open communication helps to understand the client’s needs and expectations. To put open and active questions as they allow us to extract useful and detailed information directly from the source: the client. On the other hand, the creation of detailed user profiles helps us to have a deeper understanding of our client’s needs, desires, motivations and frustrations. We will also have an opportunity to empathize and humanize users so that they can design solutions that will solve real problems.
Design phase
At this stage it’s very important to have continuous collaboration with the client to ensure that his or her design suits his or her needs. That interaction allows them to refine their details and to understand their implicit needs beyond what they can expressed at first. In addition, user testing and constant feedback ensure that the final product will suit users’ actual needs and expectations. When we look at how they interacted with the design, we can identify what works and what doesn’t and make adjustments accordingly.
Development phase
During the course of this phase, the client does not intervene so much so that we have to keep him up to date with the progress of the project, thus building a relationship with confidence and transparency. That reduces uncertainty and increases the perception of value about the work performed. To manage expectations and resolve doubts proactively.
Launch phase
Effective communication during launch is a key to generating enthusiasm and maximizing impact. Open and transparent communication promotes confidence between the client and the company. Also, real-time feedback allows for adjustments and improvements to the final product.
Post-launch phase
At this last stage, continuous support and customer care are important to strengthen confidence between both parties and to facilitate familization. A satisfied client is more likely to recommend the product or service and conduct future contracts.
