Intro
What is the Design and Discovery phase?
The Design and Discovery Phase aims to clarify the product goals, foresee the business outcomes of its launch, choose the essential features, and determine the functionality for a future MVP.
The result will be an accurate product view that includes: Key Product Features, User Journeys, Mockups, Wireframes, and Clickable prototypes.
Step 1
Product Definition
During the product definition step, we define the business goals and challenges of the potential product. They must be challenging, attainable, specific, time-limited, positive, and flexible.
We set all the goals with the end-users in mind. At this stage, we don't discuss "What" should be built but "For Whom" and "How" it would simplify the users' life.
Result
At the end of the Product Definition stage, we get a clear vision of the product's business tasks that entirely correlate with the product's business goals.
Step 2
Visualization
The idea of this step is to visualize the product development process. Several steps will make it possible.
First, it's a design of a user story map. It contains several scenarios describing how the information pieces interact within the system. Each plan has several user stories behind it. All the methods correlate to the business goals and priorities.
Result
We build a product's application architecture based on the user stories.
step 3
Prototyping
Based on the User Story Map, Business Analyst establishes a set of clickable Wireframes and adds them to the descriptive part of the document.
Using the wireframes, UI/UX designer starts making sketches for the future product. Simultaneously, a Project Manager builds a product's backlog, and the Project Plan based on the User Story Map.
Result
Product backlog with the visual representation of the product's development: planned milestones, budget, and deadlines estimation.
step 4
Presentation
The presentation stage has a few purposes: to present the work results and ensure we’re choosing the right product development direction.
Essential steps of the Presentation stage:
- Present scope-level project plans
- Present a technical implementation plan
- Present a clickable prototype
Result
Once the client approves and accepts the presentation, the Design and Discovery phase is deemed finished.
