No-code product development
My validation method uses Lean UX, No-Code MPV and Low Code development methodologies that reduce the time and resources needed for product design and development.
Identify users
Make direct contact with your customers (or potential c.) and identify how they are currently dealing with the problem that your start-up aims to solve better, more effectively, etc.
NOTE
I am assuming that you already have an idea of what kind of problems your startup aims to solve, and who your users are. If not, you should probably do a design sprint (more info coming soon).
Define the problem
What is the perspective of your users on the (hypothetical) problem you have identified as crucial?
What other more specific issues have you not considered?
At this stage, I help you determine the design problems to be addressed with a discovery workshop (more info coming soon).
Prototype
Rapid prototyping is the most effective way to save development time, generate feedback and tackle problems as they arise.
Test and iterate
Thanks to the rapid prototyping phase, it is possible to iterate quickly directly on the basis of customer feedback.
Using prototyping software, we can create true interactive models with which we can precisely study user behaviour and modify the experience.
No-code/low code MVP
In order to speed up the delivery time, more and more companies are exploring no-code and low code development platforms to create a demo product that can be launched and tested without acquiring more costs.
With no-code (or low code) MVP we are able to create a real tangible product so that we can collect the first real data that we need to present the project to venture capital, kickstarters and potential investors.

.THE NO-CODE PERSPECTIVE
ROI
Limited risk and high ROI
Uber, Airbnb and Dropbox have grown their companies into what they are today by creating an MVP to test their ideas, take a cue from this: release an MVP and add only the features your users require.
Economy
Save time and money
The time and money you would otherwise have spent on product development can be saved and reinvested in customer development. This ensures you come out with a better product, thus increasing your chances of success.
