After the validation step of an idea is completed. How do you proceed with building your product?
Do you prefer to start all by yourself and when the product acquires enough customers and we have the means to expand, then we start thinking about building and scaling a team?
Or, we should start by defining and organizing the team before any work is done?
I know that there aren't any rules to this, especially it depends on the project size, budget, complexity, etc..
I just wanted to hear what do you guys think and how you approach building your products?

Deciding between a one-man show and building a team depends on your goals and the scale of your project. Going solo gives you full control and flexibility, but it can be overwhelming as responsibilities grow. Building a team allows you to leverage diverse skills, share the workload, and scale your efforts, but it requires effective management and collaboration. Consider your vision, resources, and long-term objectives to choose the path that aligns best with your aspirations. www bagaltechnews.com this is the team, I take it as an example.

Building a team can amplify your impact and bring diverse skills to the table, but being a one-man show allows for complete creative control and agility. It ultimately depends on your goals and the nature of your project.
I think it depends on skill and time. Ideas for new product can be done on your own or with a team, although bringing that product to life requires skills that you may or may not have. If you’re starting by yourself and began the design and planning stages you may come to a point of, can I make this myself or do I need help? The other side of it is if there is an existing team, you may ask yourself do I need them or am I able to accomplish this on my own? Lastly, for both cases; Can this be accomplished in the allotted time I’ve been given or made for myself to complete this?
Hey @danielstanojkov! 😄 Great question! I personally think it depends on a few factors including the complexity of your idea and available resources. If it's a straightforward project with limited scope, going solo can be practical initially. But for larger, more complex projects, assembling a team early on can bring diverse skills and perspectives, making the development process more robust and innovative. How do you usually approach it? Would love to hear more about your experiences! 😊
I believe it's like deciding between cooking solo and hosting a dinner party. Starting solo can be efficient, but having a team from the get-go adds various flavors to the recipe and ensures a richer feast of ideas. So, are you ready to cook solo or spice things up with a team from the start?
Deciding between running a one-man show or building a team depends on your goals and resources. A one-man show offers full control and flexibility but can be overwhelming and limit growth. Conversely, building a team allows for collaboration, diverse skills, and scalability, though it requires effective management and coordination. For those in the entertainment industry, as covered by Showbizztoday, assembling a team can enhance production quality and expand opportunities, making it a strategic choice for long-term success.
