The best time to go through Discovery Phase is at the start of any major project, especially when there is not enough information gathered about the market or users. We also recommend keeping the business analyst as a part of the IT team to keep the requirements and the software up-to-date and optimized for your business’s needs.
There are 2 key reasons:
The first one is to help the business create the whole picture the final solution, the goals which businesses want to achieve and how they can estimate the success of project in the
The second one is to provide the design, development and QA teams with all necessary information required to build the right groundwork (e.g. - architecture) and to release the application within the timeline and budget.
Discovery Phase is the time when we work on the project analysis and planning. It is a very active phase, both for our clients and our team, when we perform lots of sessions. Ongoing business analysis isn’t so time-intensive we just need to support the requirements up-to-date to the business changes.
Each session is usually devoted to the analysis of some business process (e.g. order entry, processing, invoicing, etc) or to the discussion of our Business Analysts discoveries from industry and/or competitors research. Also, during such sessions we discuss your questions/comments.
Usually a session takes 1-2 hours if they are performed online. However, sometimes we make offline sessions which take a few days.
We'll be in touch shortly!
