Discovery Workshop

Hero background

Turn Your Vision into a Bulletproof Project Plan in 48 Hours

Go from a rough idea to a developer-ready blueprint. Our intensive Discovery Workshop eliminates ambiguity, reduces risk, and provides a fixed-price plan that any vendor can use to give you a precise, reliable estimate.

Ambiguity Destroys Momentum

Starting a new software project can feel like navigating without a map. Vague requirements, uncertain scope, and an undefined path forward often lead to:

  • Estimates are guesses, padded to cover unknowns
  • Development stalls as questions emerge mid-sprint
  • Features don't align with core business goals

Our Proven 5-Step Process

This isn't just a meeting; it's the most valuable investment you can make in your project's success.

Our Discovery Workshop is a highly focused, collaborative session designed to transform your project idea into a concrete plan. In a 3-hour intensive meeting, we work with you to define every critical aspect of your project.

Step 1.

This is a mutual evaluation. We want to ensure we have the right expertise to bring your vision to life before any commitment is made.

Clarity on your next steps

You'll leave the call with a clear understanding of the path forward and if we will recommend the workshop as the next step.

Pre-Workshop Preparation

To ensure our 3-hour session is incredibly productive, we send you a tailored list of questions beforehand. This allows you to gather your thoughts, data, and stakeholders, ensuring we hit the ground running.

Maximize Workshop Value

Our questionnaire ensures every minute of the live session is spent on strategic problem-solving, not just basic information gathering.

Clarify Your Vision

The preparation process helps you internally align your team and stakeholders, ensuring everyone arrives at the workshop with a shared understanding and common goals for the project.

  • OutcomeA shared foundation of knowledge, ensuring a productive workshop

Key Focus Areas for the Pre-Workshop Preparation

Business & User Goals

We'll ask you to define what success looks like for your business and for your end-users, ensuring the final product is aligned with your core strategic objectives.

Target Audience (Personas)

Think deeply about who you're building this for. Defining your target user personas helps us focus every feature and design decision on meeting their specific needs and expectations.

Core Features & MVP Scope

What is the absolute essential functionality needed for launch? This helps us ruthlessly prioritize features to define a realistic and impactful Minimum Viable Product (MVP) scope.

Known Constraints & Risks

What are the budget limitations, technical constraints, or potential market risks? Identifying these early allows us to build a plan that is both ambitious and realistic from day one.

Competitive Landscape

Who are your main competitors, and what do they do well or poorly? Understanding the market helps us identify opportunities to differentiate your product.

Success Metrics

How will you know if the project is a success after launch? Defining key performance indicators (KPIs) upfront ensures we're building a product that drives measurable results.

Step 3.

The 3-Hour Discovery Workshop

This is where the magic happens. We'll guide you through a structured discussion covering your project's goals, target users, core features, challenges, and success metrics.

Structured Expert Facilitation

We don’t just host a meeting; we guide the conversation through critical areas like user personas, core functionalities, and success metrics, ensuring no crucial detail is overlooked.

Uncover Hidden Risks

Together, we'll explore potential challenges, edge cases, and non-functional requirements, turning them into a predictable and manageable plan.

How We Ensure a Successful
The Discovery Workshop

Our workshop is more than a conversation; it's a structured process designed to extract maximum value. We employ proven techniques to ensure clarity, alignment, and a concrete, actionable outcome.

Step 4.

Blueprint Creation

Our team immediately gets to work, translating our collaborative session into your project's foundational documents: a detailed Product Requirements Document and a complete set of User Journeys.

The Single Source of Truth

We create a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD) that serves as the master guide, clearly defining your project's goals, scope, and technical requirements for ultimate clarity.

Mapping Every Interaction

We document detailed User Journeys (UJs) that map out every step a user takes, including 'happy paths' and edge cases, ensuring a flawless and intuitive user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is this a paid service and not just a sales call

A free sales call is about us trying to win your business. This paid workshop is about us delivering immediate, tangible value for your business. You will walk away with a professional, vendor-agnostic project blueprint that has a standalone value of much more than $600, regardless of who you hire to build it.

Who from my team should attend the workshop?

We recommend bringing key decision-makers. Typically, this includes the product owner, a key stakeholder (like the CEO or founder for a startup), and anyone with deep domain knowledge relevant to the project.

What happens after the workshop? Are we obligated to work with SoftKraft for development?

Absolutely not. The deliverables are yours to keep and are designed to be used with any development team you choose. Of course, we would be happy to provide you with a precise estimate based on the blueprint we created together, but there is no obligation.

What if our project is much larger than a standard MVP?

Our Discovery process is scalable. For larger, more complex projects, we can design a custom workshop that may span multiple sessions. Contact us, and we can discuss a tailored approach.

We already have a requirements document. Can we skip this?

We'd be happy to review your existing documentation. Often, we find that our structured workshop process helps uncover critical details, edge cases, and non-functional requirements that were previously missed. It can be a great way to validate and strengthen your existing plan.
