What to Expect in Our Discovery Workshops?

Before embarking on a software project, we conduct a detailed workshop with the client. These workshops, typically 1.5 to 2 hours long, are crucial for understanding the requirements of the software project.

After our introductory call, where we get an overview of the client’s challenges, a more in-depth workshop is necessary for a precise software project quotation. During this workshop, we seek to clarify and understand:

This detailed understanding is vital for providing a realistic estimate for the custom software, as the information from the initial call often lacks the depth needed for accurate planning.

What is the Result of the Workshop

Following the workshop, we prepare a full-fletched proposal, with details that include:
