Turnit (formerly myAlphie) is a proptech company which simplifies the apartment turnover process for property managers. Managers can post jobs associated with a turn, find and hire vendors to do those jobs and pay them all through a single app. When Turnit (formerly myAlphie) approached us with the plan to build such a one-stop solution for the apartment turning process, we were beyond excited to get started but there was one catch. Their partner real estate development company had 22 properties that were going to be turned after 19 days. So they had to build an MVP in the next 19 days so that they could coordinate those turns through the app as a proof-of-concept.
Like we always do at Naamche, we took the challenge as an opportunity. We knew the next 3 weeks were going to be busy but we were confident that with the team we had and the protocols we had developed, we would be able to execute the project to deliver the MVP on time.
Firstly, we identified the 5 steps that would be involved in getting this app ready in the next 19 days:
The key to developing an MVP quickly is understanding that the steps are not mutually exclusive. Many times, you can execute 2-3 steps parallely and synchronize the efforts in the end. Think of how computers run 8 cores in their CPU at the same time to perform a task (aka “multiprocessing”). With that in mind, we outlined our tasks for the days ahead:
