What We Do: Discover

Product
Discovery

Your domain expertise paired with our technical know-how. We’ll help refine requirements, tackle what’s valuable, and put a plan in place.

Every project is a little different (at least). Before designers and developers can do their thing, an idea needs a blueprint. Discover is that process. Strategy, research, and wireframes put our experience to work — and hone time and budget expectations at the same time.

New applications usually spend 20–25% of their time here, but this phase’s influence on the outcome is much, much higher.

Discover Services

  • Kickoff Meetings

    It all starts somewhere. We’ll pair a project team with your stakeholders to talk through the big picture: Measurable goals, history, existing efforts, and more.

  • Wireframes & Prototypes

    Wireframes: they’re software’s best communication tool. We’ll put together low-fidelity, high-impact visuals to map features and priorities.

  • Collaborative Scoping

    What’s actually being built? Your expertise, our experience, and metrics like budgets and timelines all come together to finalize the scope.

  • Phases & Estimates

    What will it cost? Until there’s a plan, an application can be tackled in an infinite number of ways. Discover narrows and reaffirms price ranges.
