What is the discovery phase & how does it work?
techmagic
If you have an idea but no product yet
If you want to build a product from scratch, our team will support you throughout all the software development stages, the first of which is called the discovery phase. At this phase, we will help you define a product concept, so our team can better understand your business goals and project scope.

If you have an existing product
No matter if we set up a dedicated team of developers or complement your existing team, the first thing we will do is study your product. We will examine your current architecture, codebase, deployment approach and pipelines, project management roadmap, and of course, the vision of your product.
Discovery Phase includes
01
Business goals definition

We collect and analyze information to get an in-depth understanding of the fundamental goals, general scope, and aspirational targets of the project.

02
Success criteria clarification

During the discovery phase of a software project, we define, in measurable terms, what a successful project outcome looks like for the client, the end user, and all other stakeholders.

03
User journey mapping

To create better experiences for end-users, we build a visualization of how a person uses a product to achieve the desired goal.

04
Technical analysis

We provide functional and technical analyses of the product and then suggest relevant technologies and tools for the development. In addition, we select proper AWS services that can help secure future AWS price reductions

05
Deliverables finalization

We generate a set of documents with finalized deliverables that define further steps for product implementation.

Who is involved in the process
The purpose of the discovery phase is to create a foundation for further product development. That’s why all team members responsible for the delivery of work, from a solution architect to a UX designer, take part in the process. Close cooperation with a client is also critical at this stage because it allows us to see the company’s big-picture goals and better understand stakeholders’ expectations. Want to talk to our experts about your product idea or other development needs? Don’t hesitate — we know how to get the ball rolling!
