Co-creation – From Idea to MVP: 5 days Workshop

Does it sound like you?

1. You need a reliable partner on the journey from idea to a cloud-ready solution.
2. You want to create a new product or improve existing.
3. You want to get efficiently and effectively from idea to MVP in Azure.

During our 1-week process we will help you to refine your ideas by getting a profound understanding of real-user and then developing cloud-ready products that exactly meet desires. We value partnership and see co-creation process as a great way to achieve this together. Through structured discussions, brainstorming and ideation, co-creation workshops help to draw out ideas, risks, approaches, and clarity that can lead to efficient transfer of the business goals into into a fully functional MVP customer-centric product running in Azure.

Workshop phases:

• Assessment/Preparation phase – (online) before the actual workshop we want to understand your business goals, challenges, and user personas. During a preparation call, we will agree on the agenda, confirm the dates and time schedules for the topics. We will agree on the availability of crucial team representatives and align on the success criteria.

• Discovery phase – (onsite) workshop (ideation, product field, scoping, prototype, user story mapping). During this phase we will go deeper into understanding your ideas, what are the challenges and go together through the whole process so at the end we have well defined idea, we understand who are the customers, we have defined MVP scope and overall architecture. Beside different tools in this phase we will also use product field which is sense making framework for teams and organisations to build products. It will help us to identify all important aspects and make the right decisions about the product.

• Closing phase - after the workshop, we will together summarize future steps and key decisions so development can start.
