Product discovery workshop 

In order to understand the process workflow and project requirements in a true manner, we initiated the product discovery workshop with the client. Here the project manager in the presence of developers and programmers discussed various core elements of the project which helped the team in shaping up the idea and engineer the necessities. We divided the discovery workshop into two parts.

In the first part, we gained a common understanding of business goals and the second part consisted of all the documentation and workflow. Soon after discussing the prioritization of features, user needs, technical feasibility and monetizing options, we sketched out the rough workflow of the product. This discovery workshop helped to build an understanding between the project development team and client.
