#idea-validation
Hey IH!
Looking to get some feedback/validation on my SaaS idea.
I am looking to build a collaborative requirement management tool targeting freelancers that work on projects. Project requirements often come from different sources - phone calls, Slack, text, email, whiteboard which can become difficult to manage and I hope to automate this process. Scope creep is a pain to deal with and I want to help people avoid the dreaded question from a client "I thought I requested this."
The idea came to me because we live in a world of constant communication with different channels and for freelancers (such as myself), client requests can come from a lot of different mediums. Instead of having to keep track of all my emails, texts, phone calls, and etc, I want to have the ability to easily send the requests to the SaaS app so it helps me manage it.
With the app, it will provide end-to-end traceability, visualization report to both parties that show what is and is not within scope.
Sometime down the road, I am thinking of implementing some sort of wizard that can guide the client into describing what they want out of project to give freelancers a better idea on the scope and deliverable of the project.
Looking for any feedback!
I think there is definitely a bunch of pain points in this process. A few things to consider:
Happy to discuss any of these :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Never thought about it from the agency point of view but it makes sense as they land more projects than freelancers.
Initially, I am just focusing on tackling the requirements gathering process. Later, I might tackle all the other issues.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into focusing on a niche.
