Discovery Services

Before starting a project, you need to know what lies ahead to set yourself up for success.

Discovery delivers a predictable roadmap by understanding your vision and goals, identifying a product’s core requirements, defining the scope of work, and providing you with a forecast of time and cost to deliver the product.

Our seasoned business consultants help you to define and capture the vision for your product by creating a memorable multi-day experience using our industry best practices to facilitate alignment within your organization.

Through our extensive experience with manufacturers, we have created a Manufacturing Discovery focused on mitigating risk and maximizing ROI. Learn More!

Why Do A Discovery?

You need to make the case for funding approval within your organization
Business users are struggling with articulating why a solution is needed and what needs a solution must address
There are multiple teams impacted by the solution and agreement on the solution scope has been difficult
Cost for a Discovery service is far less than the cost of diving into a solution only to find several months in scope, expectations and the architecture is misunderstood, ultimately killing a solution before it provides value to the organization
