We are going to collect information about: All hypothesis we define at this stage will be tested later, to make sure there is a Product Market Fit. Define potential users and their needs, pains and problems they have Understand what “gains” in the potencial system for the end users and how their needs can be satisfied Client his/her vision, the idea of the project Define what roles will be using the system
- 8. During these meetings we can conduct the Value Proposition Canvas. It helps to understand complex project idea, Customer profile, and his/her pains and gains, identify what customer is trying to achieve and prioritize features. At the end of Discovery Stage, a Client receives Project Specification Document. It is a detailed description of the project, where included all the data that is related to it. Together with you we plan a series of meetings/interviews (usually 3-4). On those meeting step by step we define Goals, Users, Flows, and System Modules. Module is an essential part of the product like registration, search, admin, blog etc. At this stage we want to keep the product as simple as possible, if we are not sure that some of the module are essential parts of the product we try to move it to the later stages of the delivery.

Having UI/UX designs and prototype upfront will save you 20%-40% of your project budget. We can test the very first prototypes without involving a single developer. Our Product designers iterate with you until we have a perfect match and a clear understanding of the product. One of the web development efficiency rules is to have the user interface, prototype analyzed and mapped out as much as is possible before you write even the first line of code.
