Sample Discovery Process Choices
Here's a summary of typical arrangements and deliverables for discovery teams, serving as flexible guidelines rather than prescriptive service packages. Every client's circumstances demand a tailored approach due to their inherent uniqueness. The primary objectives during the discovery phase – delineating the project scope, identifying limitations, establishing a technical vision, and mapping out a roadmap – remain constant across all projects. However, the emphasis may lean towards more technical aspects such as intricate software architecture and one or more Proofs of Concept (PoCs). Alternatively, discovery could be centered on comprehensive UX planning. This adaptability ensures that our services align with your specific needs effectively.
