Discovery Phase in Product Development
The discovery phase increases the chances of project success. It goes before the development phase. Creating an app or website without a discovery phase is as risky as building a house without an architectural plan. This phase shows how the project will function, what it will look like, and how it will help your business achieve its goals. At this stage of software development, the sides define the main objectives and scope of the project, timelines and user expectations, and a step-by-step development plan, including the technologies to be used.Our team sticks to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We never skip such tasks as gathering and analyzing requirements or designing a product at the initial stage.
We primarily use the project discovery phase to do the following:
- Detect requests
- Align requirements with objectives/budget
- Tailor architecture concerning objectives and expectations
- Set priorities based on the objectives, needs, and technical nuances
- Tailor requirements to demands of third-parties
Why does a Discovery Phase Matter?
At this stage, the most effective interaction between the client who needs a software solution and Techbee Solution takes place. Together, we discuss the project details, helping each other to more clearly articulate the requirements for the software. The result is the formation of the main regulation the developers rely upon in their work. The Tech requirements should fully describe the tasks for developers and explain the ultimate goal of the project from the customer’s side. Here’s how you can benefit from the discovery phase of a software project.
Improved communication
Even a good presentation cannot guarantee that you have chosen the right software partner. Regular communication during this phase allows you to assess how our team works, our experience and approach to the project development, as well as establish mutual trust and respect. You can use the results of the discovery phase with other IT vendors before launching the development process.
Risk management & control
Clear project goals and requirements help you accurately estimate development time and budget. The discovery phase lets you identify all potential risks from the start, so you don’t have to redo everything entirely later.
Detailed road map
You will get a complete project timeline with intermediate goals, deliverables, and deadlines. The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) and layouts developed during the discovery phase can be used to find additional investors.
Discovery Phase Stages
The discovery process involves experts such as business analysts, PMs, marketing specialists, tech architects, QA engineers, and UI/UX designers. However, every step of the discovery process is impossible without customer input
The main goal of this phase is to eliminate any unknown elements, get ready with a tech ground, and prepare UX design. Finally, it’s about estimating the time and budget necessary to carry out the project. The steps are:
- 1
Feature breakdown list
- 2
Approximate estimations
- 3
Team composition
- 4
Development of concept
- 5
Peculiarities
- 6
Wireframes
- 7
Accurate budget & time planning
MVP Development Services
A minimum viable product is the stage of development of a startup or IT product when it solves at least one fundamental user problem and demonstrates its “viability.” At the MVP stage, the product has users who can praise or strongly criticize it but still use it, confirming the need the product solves. Vice versa: if, at the MVP stage, a product does not solve significant user problems or solves them poorly, the market does not need such a product and, therefore, it is “unviable.” We will advise you on how to take the first path, from explaining the minimum viable product definition to its implementation.
Benefits of MVP
- Confirm the idea viability and test product hypotheses with real data
- Identify trends that can be used in the development of the full product version
- Reduce the risk of major financial losses if the product is unsuccessful
- Minimize development costs by prioritizing important and identifying useless features
- Speed up bug detection and internal product testing
- Gather a user base before a full-scale launch
- Occupy a market niche and attract investors before competitors
Steps of the MVP Development
Get ready with the basis for your MVP software before getting to the development. MVP development begins with analytics. By the time you get to the development process, you are supposed to have an idea and an “intuitive understanding” of what your users need and what they will be willing to pay for in the long run
It’s a good time to put those ideas to the test. Things tested at this stage:
- 1
What problem or task does your product solve? What’s new about what you do?
- 2
Who will use this product? Who are your consumers?
- 3
How are they solving their problems now? What competitors, analogs, or substitutes already exist on the market?
- 4
What is your market and its possible volume? How fast is it growing? Who is the market leader?
- 5
What kind of business model will you have? How fast will you grow? What will make users talk about you? What will get users to choose your product?
- 6
What kind of team do you have? What kind of experience do you have? What personally motivates you to pursue this product? What results do you personally want to achieve?
Scrum Metrics for MVP Development
Our team prefers the Scrum methodology. Such metrics help ensure project health, follow the development plan, guarantee team performance, and identify threats or demands for changes.
Product quality
Our team checks if each feature successfully passes each examination. Techbee selects a complex method to track and evaluate actionable metrics. Our goal is to ensure that the piece of software meets all customer requirements.
Resolution time
In case the time necessary to carry out a project extends, our experts extend the team size.
Predictable burndown
Our team fully controls project health and follows the plan.
Team velocity
Our PMs assess the team velocity and every participant in particular. We are here to ensure your project is on track and any delays are excluded.
R&D as a Service
R&D Team is in charge of choosing the project’s tech stack, working out the architecture, and ensuring that the developers have no problems with implementing design solutions and working with development tools. Their main responsibility is to ensure all business goals are met and development processes are well established.
Why Does Your Start-up Need a R&D?
For many startups, MVP software development is the best go-to-market strategy. Investors want to see sales, not just an idea-only startup. A working MVP, showcasing user growth and tangible metrics like Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), significantly improves funding prospects than a mere pitch deck. The terms are also better. Designed initially for startups, MVPs are now widely used in enterprise projects, too, as part of the agile methodology to drive innovations.
It’s a good time to put those ideas to the test. Things tested at this stage:
- You have a great product idea but have no idea how to implement it.
- You have developed your first product or part of an app but realize its architecture does not match the later stages of your product/service development.
- Your business needs an expert with years of tech leadership experience who can help build the product, effectively discuss the technical aspects with investors, evaluate contractors, and create tech roadmaps for the project.
- At this stage of your company’s development, you do not need a full-time technical director. Still, you need the maximum level of flexibility and cost efficiency, allowing you to pay only for those services that your business needs.
- You need an objective perspective on various tech issues, as well as an expert to guide your development team.
If you’re looking to hire skilled developers to build your MVP, you can get in touch with our team. R&D outsourcing services will help you find and hire qualified remote coders based on your project requirements, tech stack, and, most importantly, culture.
