Discovery workshops that actually work
Before any code is written, our business team runs a structured discovery. Here's our agenda and the deliverables clients take away.

A good discovery workshop saves months. Ours runs over two to five days, depending on scope.
Agenda
- Goals and success metrics. What does success look like in 6 months?
- Users and journeys. Who uses the product, and where do they get stuck?
- Current state. Systems, data, constraints and risks.
- Options. Two or three possible approaches, with honest trade-offs.
- Roadmap. Phased delivery with costs and team shape.
Deliverables
- A one-page project brief
- A prioritised backlog for the first phase
- A risk register reviewed with security and finance
- A budget estimate with assumptions written down
Clients keep these deliverables whether or not they continue with us.
