^{Step 1}

Kickoff & Discovery

The foundation phase, where mutual understanding is created, we gather, align, and strategize. Our goal is to take the client's vision and prepare it for the transformative journey ahead.

Objective

Establish a solid understanding of the intended application, client's aspirations, potential challenges, and chalk out an actionable plan to bring this vision to life.

Activities

Knowledge Transfer

We dedicate time to familiarizing ourselves with the existing data, prior research, and any other foundational material the client provides. It's essential for us to understand the terrain before embarking on the journey.

Stakeholder Interviews

Engaging one-on-one with key stakeholders provides in-depth insights into their aspirations, concerns, and the strategic intent behind the application. This qualitative input is invaluable in crafting an app that aligns with the company’s larger objectives.

Define Goals & Objectives

We’ll identify key technical performance indicators and business-centric metrics such as user acquisition, conversion, and revenue potential.

Scope Definition

This is about setting clear boundaries: What features are essential for the MVP (Minimum Viable Product)? Which ones can be scheduled for later phases? By defining the scope, we ensure that the project remains focused and feasible.

Competitive Benchmarking

We analyze the market to identify direct and indirect competitors, assessing their strengths, vulnerabilities, and unique selling points to gain insights that position the application uniquely in the market landscape.
