FAQ

We know you’re here to find answers. We’ve got you covered.

The Discovery Phase is a process that takes place before kicking off the project. In the other words you can call it sprint ZERO. This phase is sure to help the team to understand the scope of the project, your target audience and what it takes to deliver a successful outcome. Spent time on preparation lead to much more efficient time to market.

The business analysis report identifies the technical and non-technical (business) requirements of a solution. It is an evaluation of current goals and how to reach them, what need to be included, milestones, scope decomposition and high level estimates of efforts.

Here you have 3 options to choose from:
1. An attractive UI design in Figma (1-2 pages)
2. High-level wireframes of the main flow
3. Informational structure

Clients prefer to choose 1 or 2 options, designers suggest to start from the 3rd one, since it provides the bird view.

We want to make sure your project is built right. That’s why we do a technical audit, with an internal custom tool that evaluates the engineering practices, methodology, UX/UI design, database infrastructure, quality assurance, security architecture, and much more.

We offer project scanning and product discovery services to enable clients to evaluate our work. Once you’re happy and ready to continue, we will deduct those payments from later invoices. Consider it as a prepayment.

When you start thinking about whether to opt for discovery products and services…Just do it.

Skipping and avoiding software discovery phase service will significantly influence your end product that real users will see. And when we say so, we don’t mean in a good way, as you put the whole project at risk. What are the possible scenarios?

  • The product that no one needs
    Without validating your business goals, customers won’t be satisfied as their needs will not be met. The research is crucial.
  • Unexpected costs
    Skipping product discovery solutions, your project is doomed to failure and a lot of money losses.
  • Missed deadlines
    When your business objectives aren’t clarified, and the process is not thought-through, don’t even expect that everything may be finished on time. Sometimes not even finished at all.
  • Unclear scope of work
    If you don’t validate your idea, analyze the market, audience, and competitors and define the process of the project, you get into a never-ending cycle of tasks.

Even if you think you save money skipping this stage, get ready to spend even more on the project that just flops.

The cost of digital product discovery services depends on various factors. The discovery phase price, as the most important development stage, is defined by the software project scope, functional requirements, complexity, duration of analysis and research, amount of other tasks you put in for the development team.

The average cost of discovery phase services for product development takes up between 10 to 40% of the whole project budget.

Product strategy services, known as the discovery stage, are usually conducted by such experts as business analysts, senior software developers, UI/UX designers, and project managers.

The number and type of people involved in your project are completely dependent on your project’s objectives. The team you choose should be able to share your project vision and build up a clear project management process to tailor all the development stages later on.
