De-risk your product build by answering fundamental product and technology questions up front.
A BoatyardX Discovery project helps clients rapidly gain the confidence needed to support a build, pivot or kill decision. The Discovery process plays a vital role in supporting clients move to build with a defined scope, estimate, delivery plan and a clear understanding of the risks.
Every Discovery project is unique, and we tailor our process to meet the client’s needs. Our Discovery process can flex to explore or validate a new product concept, scale an existing product through to migrating an existing or mature product to the cloud and everything in between. We’ve successfully worked with New York investment bankers through to Irish dairy farmers using the same methodology.
Product development can be viewed through three lenses, customer desirability, technical feasibility and commercial viability. Our methodology focuses on raising the confidence levels across two of the three lenses, customer desirability and technical feasibility and our clients typically bring the domain and commercial expertise to the table.
