Discovery Phase: 8-wk assessment
The Discovery Phase is your key to a customized and successful project start.
The Discovery Phase is essential to ensure clarity about project objectives from the very beginning. It promotes a shared understanding among all stakeholders, so that everyone shares a coherent mental model of the project. Risks identified and addressed early on prevent unexpected obstacles and delays.
By understanding users, it sharpens the project's cloud vision and fosters the discovery of new ideas and use cases. It also aids in making fundamental decisions and structuring the project effectively for an agile development approach. Hence, it is crucial to align expectations and promote a coherent approach from the onset.

Can I customize the Discovery Phase?
Yes, every Discovery Phase is unique and highly customized to your specific needs.
Which methods are being used during the Discovery Phase?
We have a variety of methods that we apply depending on the specific needs of the project. This set of methods includes Azure deep-dive, user research, design sprint, design studio, prototyping, usability testing, user story map, and many more.
Is the project plan, derived from the Discovery Phase, rigidly fixed from the start?
No, in the Discovery Phase, we create the foundation of the project. Roadmap, concepts, and requirements, developed through Scrum and iterative methodologies, evolve over time.
