An example of a completed project using no-code tools. An MVP employee onboarding application built on the Bubble.io platform.
This is an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), correct?
Yes, it's an MVP. This application will not be used in production. The main goal of this project is to create a prototype to demonstrate the concept and basic functions of the application.
My client is a development studio working on a corporate HR platform project for a group of companies. The employee onboarding application is one of the modules of this corporate platform.
The MVP (prototype) of the application was developed in parallel with the development of the technical specification. The prototype was used to demonstrate the functionality of the future platform and to discuss requirements with the client. The ultimate client for the HR platform development is, as I mentioned, a group of companies with a complex structure of regional subdivisions. Since the HR platform will be used by all of the group's subdivisions, the process of aligning requirements for the platform is complex and involves many stakeholders. The task of the prototype is to simplify and accelerate the process of aligning requirements. In addition to the textual description of the requirements, stakeholders have the opportunity to see the prototype, the main flows, and functions.
Do no-code tools work well for MVP development?
Yes, they are perfect for MVP development.
No-code tools such as Bubble.io allow for building applications as quickly as possible, as there is no need to develop the application backend, set up databases, etc. The frontend of the application requires less time to develop compared to traditional development.
Making changes also requires less time, which is very relevant for MVP development.
The main bonus of using no-code tools for MVP is significant reduction in Time to Market.
Can you tell me about the functionality of the application?
The onboarding module of the corporate HR platform simplifies the adaptation of new employees to the company. The application provides new employees with access to a personalized learning track and a corporate knowledge base. The HR manager can monitor the process of employees' initial training.
👉 The application contains an HR manager portal, an employee portal, and general login and registration pages. Access to pages is determined by user roles.
👉 The HR manager has access to creating content for training courses and lessons. The application includes a text editor for creating lesson text in a familiar format for the user. The manager has access to managing company employees - registering new employees, changing employees' personal data, managing the employee's personalized learning track, monitoring the progress of learning.
👉 The employee has access to a separate portal with a personal learning plan and a general knowledge base of all company courses.
The customer did not have specific UI/UX requirements - this is an MVP, and its main task is to show the functionality. Therefore, the application pages have a simple UI.
What were the development timelines?
It only took 2 weeks to develop the prototype. Then, changes were made to the requirements, and the MVP was improved.
