Why Work With Softjourn
Softjourn has a three-pronged, iterative approach when it comes to the first phase of the discovery phase of a software project:
- Interview with the client to understand the needs and gather all the necessary information
- Documentation analysis and market research are needed to understand the product and its market position.
- System requirements analysis that gives engineers a better perspective on the whole project and it's requirements.
- Defining tech stack and system architecture for the project that aligns with project goals.
- Budget and project timeframe for the project that includes all necessary information and the project estimate.
The discovery process is highly interactive and requires client participation. Softjourn will conduct working sessions with you and your team to analyze each of the functionalities and workflows. Working one-hour sessions are typically held twice a week. In between sessions, Softjourn’s business analyst/product manager defines workflows and functionalities using visuals and texts to present how potential users might flow through the system.
The most valuable deliverables that the client gets at the end of the Project Discovery Phase are the Software Requirements Specifications document (SRS), timeline, and pricing estimation for the entire development process.
What Makes Project Discovery Phase Valuable
The discovery phase helps our customers to think through the entire product definition process in order to see where there might be gaps in knowledge and potential risks, and to gain a better understanding of the development phases.
One of the biggest benefits of the discovery phase is the documentation, which explains the whole development process with all of its stages in detail. Our clients can later use this to attract investors and have a more in-depth understanding of the overall process.
Using a discovery phase, you will get a more accurate estimate of the costs and time required to develop an MVP of your service. Once clients have a clear understanding of how much money they’ll have to invest in the process, they can inform investors and plan their future steps.
