The discovery phase is a crucial first step before starting any project at Webmagic. This stage is all about gathering essential information and planning carefully to ensure a successful outcome. During this phase, we aim to collect as much relevant data as possible about your project, understand your goals, and create a solid plan.
We begin by gathering detailed information about your business and the goals of your project. Our Business Analyst (BA) digs deep into your project, documenting every requirement in detail. This thorough approach ensures that no aspect of your project is missed. We create a comprehensive list of all the functions your project will need, describing each in detail and explaining their logic. We also map out current business processes and those that will be implemented after the project is completed.
Next, we identify potential risks and plan how to avoid them. For risks that can’t be avoided, we develop strategies to handle them effectively. We then prepare a detailed roadmap outlining the project timeline and key milestones, which is easy to understand for both management and the development team.
All the gathered information is compiled into a "Specification" document. This document includes detailed project requirements, descriptions of functionalities, business process mappings, risk assessments, and a clear project roadmap. The specification document is crucial because it allows us to provide an accurate project estimate, ensuring that the budget remains fixed for the agreed scope of work.
Throughout the discovery phase, we maintain open communication with you, having several calls to confirm our findings and clarify any points. This helps ensure that we are always aligned with your vision and expectations.
At the end of the discovery phase, you will receive a detailed specification document covering all aspects of the project, an accurate project estimate based on the agreed scope and roadmap, and a clear understanding of the project from every angle. This phase is essential because it sets the foundation for the entire project, helping us align our work with your business goals, mitigate risks, and deliver a project that meets your needs perfectly.
By investing time and effort in the discovery phase, Webmagic ensures that your project is well-planned, efficient, and set up for success. This meticulous approach helps in delivering a project that aligns perfectly with your business goals and requirements.
