Discovery and Design Thinking Workshops
Up to four 2-hour working sessions to determine the MVP product offering, including defining:
Business
The business problem you are solving.
User
Types of users for your system and their specific needs.
Features
Application features that fulfill their needs.
Prioritization
Need-to-feature mapping and prioritization.
Collaboration Tools
Effective collaboration is paramount to the success of the MVP design and development process. Accordingly, we utilize several key collaboration tools, including:
A product glossary which defines key agreed-upon terminology for the project
Recording all workshops for future reference, context, and onboarding
Miro board to gather, save, and share all ideas, concepts, and workshop outcomes.
User Stories
A key component of our agile software development methodology is ensuring users come first, and essential to this process is the creation of user stories.
Not only do they describe all the features and functionality of the end product from the user’s perspective, but they also clearly represent how they translate to user value.
User stories are vital as they help visualize the user flow and provide a user-focused framework for optimum collaboration, communication, and development of your application.

Features, Architecture, Tech, and Resources
Our team synthesizes the entirety of the user stories generated to deliver the following:
An initial prioritized list of required features for the MVP
A diagram and description of the recommended high-level architecture
A plan for the team and other resources required to execute
Conceptual Designs
Based on our work together thus far our team will create initial conceptual designs for your product, not only as a starting point to visualize your app’s user interface but to inspire your team, partners, and stakeholders.

Timeline and Budget
The final important components of the MVP Blueprint are the creation of the project’s initial timeline and budget, including:
A graphical timeline representation from inception to launch covering the overlapping phases of discovery, design, architecture, development, and QA, as well as their respective milestones
An initial budget based on the MVP’s required features, tech stack, resources, design, timeline, and importantly, your budget.
