Risks of wasting money
Inefficient development process
Without a structured discovery phase, development teams may waste time and resources building features that aren't critical to the product's success.
Missed market opportunities
Without a clear understanding of the market and competitors, a product may miss opportunities to differentiate itself and stand out.
Misaligned expectations
A lack of clear communication between stakeholders can result in misinterpreted requirements, leading to a product that doesn't meet expectations
Key results
Problem Statement

Project Objectives
A clear definition of the goals and objectives of the project, including what the project aims to achieve and the desired outcomes
User/Stakeholder Needs
A deep understanding of the needs and requirements of the users and stakeholders involved in the project. This includes a clear understanding of their pain points and how the project can meet their needs
Project Scope

Business values
Improved Understanding of User Needs
The Project Discovery Phase is an opportunity to gather information about the target user, their needs, and the problems they are trying to solve. This improved understanding of user needs can lead to a product that is better aligned with their needs and more likely to be successful in the market.
Increased Collaboration
The Project Discovery Phase brings together stakeholders from different parts of an organization to collaborate and ensure that everyone is aligned on the goals of the project. This increased collaboration can lead to a stronger, more effective product that is better suited to meet the needs of the target audience.
Reduced Risks
By conducting a thorough project discovery phase, potential risks can be identified and mitigated before significant resources are invested in development. This can help to reduce the risks associated with the project and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Better Aligned Project Goals
The Project Discovery Phase sets the foundation for the project by clearly defining the goals, scope, and expectations. This better alignment of project goals can lead to a more streamlined development process and a product that meets the needs of the target audience and meets business goals.

Process
The first step in the project discovery phase is to define the problem that the project is intended to solve. This includes understanding the root cause of the problem, the impact it has on the target audience, and the goals and objectives of the project.
The second step is to conduct a stakeholder analysis to identify all of the individuals and organizations that are affected by the problem and will be involved in the project.
The third step is to conduct research and analysis to gather data and information that will inform the project. This may include market research, user research, and competitor analysis.
The fourth step is to generate ideas for potential solutions to the problem. This may involve brainstorming sessions, rapid prototyping, and concept mapping.
The fifth step is to select the most promising solution from among the ideas generated in step four. This may involve conducting additional research and analysis, and gathering feedback from stakeholders and users.
The final step is to document the findings of the project discovery phase and make recommendations for next steps. This may include defining the scope and timeline for the project, and identifying the resources that will be required to implement the solution.
