How can I speed up the development of an MVC4 DEVELOPMENT application?

I know this sound is strange - let me explain:

I am currently developing a standard database web application. I decided to use the IoC (Ninject) infrastructure, Entity Code First, Bootstrap, and several other related technologies. I rewrote the database model in UML, and now I'm trying to implement it, step by step. This usually happens as follows:

  • Select a function to implement.
  • Check which database tables are needed.
  • Create the appropriate POCO classes
  • Create a new database using the migration tool
  • Create all the necessary CRUD methods that are required. (I know that I have to create unit tests, but there is simply no time: /)

The first question is - do you look “normal” to you? Perhaps I missed something that could accelerate my development? Or maybe I should add a few more steps - for example - to catch more errors early on?

Now the next step is to create the Views, so I'm doing something like this:

  • Create a ViewMethod inside the appropriate controller.
  • Create a ViewModel based on one or more POCO database classes
  • Create editor templates for my new ViewModel
  • Creating function logic inside the controller.

The problem with the above approach is as follows:

  • I often have to create almost a duplicate of a POCO object, then - during the save procedure, I need to convert it back to the corresponding POCO objects, as usual:

    PocoEntity1 pocoEntity1 = new ()
{
    UserName = ViewModel.UserName,
    UserPicture  = ViewModel.UserPicture
    (and so on)
}
