Software Product Planning Done Right?

[Raja]

Hi Fastlaners,
Some of you may know, I am starting my first business that is a Marketplace for Apps in my niche. Consider it amazon for apps.

need is verified by a third-party selling them(like verifying need of medicines after seeing them on amazon and are selling good, then I am going to make a marketplace for medicines. Just an example)

I have and can learn the technical know-how on how to build. I am super firm on this idea, even though will have branches but not like a completely different thing.

the Problem comes with planning,

• I don't have any experience in that
• Just a developer, not a project manager
• don't have deep pockets to hire a project manager, all I can do is hire interns. (though I am thinking of doing paid consultation with Experienced Project mangers after I build a plan)

short story
I am big on planning as my experience in my internship took us 3 months to do the task which can easily be completed within a month and also was not perfect. why because of poor planning and leadership, the requirement change by the day even though was not required.

so back to the question, how to plan for building a software product?

@eliquid would love some of your wisdom here. I have gone through your AMA thread, there was no clear path mentioned. also, I didn't ask this in ama as I don't know that this does belong in that thread.

Therefor I am not properly planning out tech beforehand for each MVP. Why do all that work and spend months on it if it doesn't make money?

Not talking about Months of planning, talking like at 1 - 2 weeks of planning at max.

I also have the intention to stick to the plan, Requirements are also not changing(I believe).

P.S. I am a sole developer as of now

I am also building an organization chart so I can delegate effectively later(mentioned in some thread, I forgot)

regards
Suryapratap
