At present, many entrepreneurs need to develop their own software systems, and some need to make apps that match their business, so I am often asked this question. To understand the development cost, we must first look at which products need to be developed and what the corresponding functions are.

Aiming at the possible functions of the educational platform in the topic, such as live online broadcast, course playback, online consultation, learning plan formulation, etc. Because the development cost is closely related to the labor cost of the R&D team, I make a simple plan for this product in order to estimate a rough cost.

Platform products can be large or small. Generally, a standard development team should include the following roles: product manager, chief engineer, interaction engineer, visual engineer, architect, project manager, back-end programmer, front-end programmer, Android programmer, iOS programmer, test engineer, etc.

Usually, products often pay more attention to functionality in the initial stage of research and development, and many details can be gradually improved in the later stage, which can also save a lot of research and development costs. According to a minimum team configuration, that is, if each role needs 1 person, then it probably needs 1 1 person. Of course, the front-end and back-end may need to increase manpower, which should be analyzed according to the actual situation. The R&D cycle of operating products follows the principle of "32 1", that is, 3 months for development, 2 months for testing and adjustment, and 1 month for trial operation. The pure development time is about 3 months, that is, it needs 33 person-months (including those of architects and visual designers). Mainly early, the rest is used to supplement the lack of programmers-months).

At present, the monthly cost of domestic people is about 20,000-50,000, and the prices of different companies in different regions have a certain gap. If calculated according to the minimum 2 1000 person-months, it will cost about 660,000 yuan. This is only a rough estimate, and it is based on the minimum development requirements. As a platform-level product, R&D expenses are often relatively high.

I have led the software development team for many years, and I will write some related popular science articles on the headlines one after another, and pay attention to my headline number. I believe you will gain something.

thank you
