Product Discovery: 8-weeks Implementation

Product Discovery is the evidence-informed process of reducing uncertainty as you find problems worth solving and solutions worth building.

4 Weeks in Problem Space: What problems do we need to solve for users? 4 Weeks in Solution Space: What features/offerings do we need to build to solve them?

Increases the Likelihood of Success: By understanding customer needs, teams can quickly discard ineffective ideas and develop a strong value proposition, supported by Azure’s analytics and data insights capabilities. Validates Ideas Cost-Effectively: Product ideas can be rapidly tested using Azure’s scalable cloud services without significant upfront investment, ensuring that only viable concepts proceed. Accelerates Speed to Market: Identifying critical features and leveraging Azure’s development and deployment tools helps to launch products faster, gaining a competitive edge. Mitigates Risks Early: Through comprehensive technical and business discussions, potential risks are identified early. Azure’s robust cloud infrastructure and services provide the flexibility to adapt and manage these risks effectively.

At the End of Discovery, You Will Have a Validated MVP Scope Ready to Build:

1. Business Case Defined: Supported by Azure’s data and analytics to inform decision-making.
2. Product Vision and Strategy Created: Aligned with Azure’s best practices for optimal performance and scalability.
3. Customer Segments Identified and Prioritized for MVP Launch: Utilizing Azure’s customer insights tools to target the right audience.
4. Draft Customer Journey Map Created, and Pains Identified: Enabled by Azure’s user research and feedback tools.
5. User Research Conducted, and Reports Created: Enhanced by Azure’s data collection and analysis capabilities.
6. High Fidelity Prototypes Created and Validated: Leveraging Azure’s development and testing environments.
7. MVP Scope Created: Clearly defined with Azure’s architectural and design support.
8. Software Architecture Document: Includes architectural views, design decisions, and best practices utilizing Azure’s cloud solutions.
9. Indicative MVP Estimations Completed: Supported by Azure’s resource planning tools.
10. Indicative Delivery Plan Drafted: Utilizing Azure’s project management and tracking features.

As part of the product discovery phase, we will also conduct an architectural and technical strategy assessment to ensure that the appropriate cloud hosting partner, potentially Azure, is selected to support your product’s needs.
