The discovery process is critical to achieving a successful project outcome. Many projects are clearly understood and can be successfully implemented with a minimal amount of planning and clarification. These type of projects are predictable because they do not allow for much ambiguity.
Projects that require discovery have a significantly greater success when adequately planning. Projects requiring discovery typically consist of multiple outcomes, connect to different types of software systems and processes, or in general have unique elements that must be clarified and agreed upon before we can accurately estimate the scope, time and cost of a project.
If your project requires discovery, we ask that you pre-approve a block of time for our team members to work against. The time we apply to your project allows you and us to better assess the requirements of your project. The desired outcome of our time applied towards your project is greater clarification of your ideas, the needs of the project, the resources to be applied and an agreed upon definition of a successful implementation.
- Discovery
Critical first step in any project process. Upon completion of a successful discovery engagement we will have a refined project plan defining and validating a large amount of the project requirements. Although all elements of the project may not be completely defined, we will have enough information to determine a reasonable project estimate of time and costs as well as a better understanding and predictability of the project outcome. - Search Engine
Commonly referred to as Search Engine Optimization (SEO). An important element to understand and define early in the development process. Identifying critical key phrases with optimal volumes of monthly searches is essential to generating real visitors to your website. Knowing the desired target enables us to collaborate with you to architect and develop well written and optimized information for greater search engine results. - Visual Design
