Discovery Phase Services

During a discovery stage, the team gathers and analyzes information to identify:

• scope
• timeline
• tech stack
• risks
• roadmap

The results of the discovery stage could include documentation, wireframes, user flow diagram, etc.

Depending on project complexity and desired deliverables, the discovery phase can take between two and eight weeks, 40 – 160 working hours.

Based on the average Central/Eastern European hourly rate ($50), the project discovery phase can cost a business between $2,000 and $8,000.

The discovery phase in software development includes the following steps:

• Request handling
• Goals and requirements discussion
• Project analysis
• Details refinement
• Documentation/wireframes/prototype/etc. development

Choose what suits you best, of course. Please note, discovery phase software services cost you only a fraction of what you save on software development. During the discovery stage, the team clarifies scope of work, project aims and vision, prepares the implementation path, and more. This makes it possible to deliver on time and on budget.

The key to your project success: choose competent, discovery phase project management.

The discovery phase in software development does not have a fixed format.

Basic information could include:

• General description
• Project goals
• Industry
• Key features or requirements
• Desired budget and/or timeline
• Estimated number of users
• Desired platform

However, this is not an all-inclusive list. Feel free to add any relevant information.
