Overview

The Discovery Phase is the first step to achieve your business goals. It is the time when Architects, BA and Designers explore the problem or opportunity, define a strategy, and identify a solution. It is also the time when they take into account all quality attributes that are important for your product.
The discovery phase has to be well planned in order to ensure success for the whole project. The architect will have to work with stakeholders and other team members to gather information about their needs and wants. They will have to create a detailed plan of what they want to have and how they want it done. This plan will include quality attributes that are important for them, such as scalability, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, availability etc.

What well-designed architecture is?

There are many ways to solve technical tasks, but to solve them so that the solution covers your business needs, you need to consider many factors. These factors are called Architecture Drivers. Each of them affects what features your product will have and how flexible, scalable and profitable it will be. Therefore, a Well-Designed Architecture considers the combination of all factors and allows you to achieve all business goals with the right technical approach.

Our team has already designed more than 200+ Product Architectures and knows all aspects of this process. However, in order not to miss something essential and prevent problems in the future, we analyzed all our experiences and created a process in which we listen very closely to your wishes and find a solution that is right for you.
