Product discovery workshop

Setting the right foundation for the product is as crucial as other deciding factors that mark the success of the solution. The product discovery workshop manages to set that ground to a certain extent. The foremost purpose of this workshop is to understand the project requirement that also serves the purpose of solving the user’s problem. Moreover, the session helped teams collect the information they need to make smart decisions.

During the workshop, we discussed how to tackle business competition, strategic analysis, niche targets, etc. and conveniently built a structured roadmap by streamlining the entire development process of the app notifying the client and stakeholders about every step of the way. At the end of the session, we finally compiled all the project requirements and readied ourselves to begin with the construction of the app.
