21. So…
Be ready to invest your time. The better you want the
app to be, the more time you should expect to invest
yourself
!
Strategy/Definition + Concept/Prototype is required to
get accurate estimates
!
If you want Concept/Prototype to be done for you
(with plan & estimates & assumptions & valuable input) -
pay for it
