Discovery Workshop
A discovery workshop is an important step before starting development efforts because it allows for a thorough understanding of the problem or opportunity at hand. It brings together key stakeholders to define the scope, goals, and objectives of the project, and to identify any potential challenges or constraints. This allows for a clear and shared understanding of what needs to be achieved and how to best approach the project. Additionally, a discovery workshop can also help to identify any additional information or research that needs to be conducted before development can begin. Overall, a discovery workshop sets the foundation for a successful project by ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and that the project is well-defined and feasible.
