SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT / DISCOVERY & DESIGN
Discovery and requirements
Before you build,
define what matters.
Map workflows, users and information to define development objectives and scope, establishing shared assumptions for estimates and internal decisions.
- FOR
- Companies seeking discovery before specifications are fixed
- PHASE
- Discovery
- ESTIMATE
- Proposed individually after confirming scope
FROM WORKFLOW TO DELIVERABLES
How we work ↗- 01Review the current state
- 02Define requirements and exceptions
- 03Prioritize functionality
- 04Agree on the development approach
01 SCOPE & DELIVERABLES
What this engagement delivers.
Use the following as a starting point to agree on deliverables for your workflow and requirements.
Feature list and priorities
Interface and data design principles
Development scope and assumptions
If available,
bring these to the conversation.
- Current forms and management interfaces
- Access to business stakeholders
- Desired timing and budget expectations
Incomplete documentation is fine. Start by describing your current situation.

04 QUESTIONS
Start with your questions.
Q.Can we start without a specification?＋
Yes. We can begin with requirements discovery based on your current work and objectives. Bring any available documentation to the first conversation.
Q.Can development start with a subset of functions?＋
We review the environment and functional dependencies, then propose a scope that can be introduced independently.
Q.Can you work on a system developed by another company?＋
We review source code, access rights and architecture documentation to establish what can be supported and what handover work is needed.
