Discovery Workshops

Let’s collaborate to define your project, goals and timelines

De-risk your project and accelerate time to value

The discovery phase of project is critical to ensure development stays on track and meets expectations. At the start, our project team meets with your stakeholders, who may include your project sponsors, senior executives, end users and sometimes business partners or customers. We’ll get into the key details, fast.

Creating a roadmap for everyone to follow

We’ll explore, define and agree on your project’s requirements and desired outcomes. We’ll envision the final product and then create a realistic roadmap for software development and how we’ll work together successfully. This can cover everything from functional specifications to budget and timelines.
