The answer to this question is yes. It is a good idea to have at least a basic understanding of how your app developer operates: Who will be working on the app?
What are the development protocols? How is the app tested and when? By taking an active interest in the process you are more likely to get the app you want.
There are two ways to approach app development there are benefits to each method but you will still want to be kept informed of how the development will be conducted.
Hands-off — focused on results
This approach is much more result-focused and often means that the app is developed more quickly. A good developer will still involve you in key decisions but you will be able to prioritize your time focusing on major issues rather than minor ones.
Saving time is often a factor because most businesses want the app to improve efficiency and if you are constantly spending time thinking about app development you have already lost a key benefit of having the app in the first place!
That said, developers will be more than happy to accommodate whatever method of working your prefer. After all, they want to give you the app best suited for your needs and this will mean at least some involvement from the client.
Making sure your development team know which approach you favor before you start the project can make it easier for them to know how much to involve you, it will establish expectations and make the relationship more productive.
