Phase 1: discovery
Providing a competitive analysis
Our goals
- Understanding your request, requirements and business objective
- Understanding your competitors through competitor analysis
- Understanding your customers through user research
- Creating a functional specification
Approach
Our business analyst will write a 20+-page functional specification document so that we can specify the different user roles, journeys, and functionalities to avoid dead ends.
It’s important to have a clear plan in the beginning to not only ensure a smooth transition between phases, but also to provide an overview of of what is happening and what to expect.
Communication plan
This outlines how we are going to communicate important and ongoing project information to you.
Easily editable
We can amend the functional specification should your circumstances change.
Specification
A functional specification with high-level wireframes is written to avoid misunderstandings
Research
We research about your competitors and get to know the particular style you’re looking for.
User experience
We create a low-fidelity prototype after developing wireframes based on our research.
User interface
After you approve the prototype, we start creating a design concept and present it to you with any correction
