Workshop
Product Discovery Workshop
Align stakeholders, validate assumptions, and leave with a clear roadmap and MVP scope—before you invest in full development.
How we work
From discovery to growth
Explore each phase. Discovery is where we shape the product vision, scope, and success metrics.
- Kickoff: goals, users, and success criteria.
- Journey mapping & opportunity prioritization.
- Solution sketching & technical feasibility.
- MVP definition, estimates, and next steps.
Discovery takeaway
A shared product narrative, a prioritized backlog slice, and a delivery plan your team can execute against.
- UX flows, wireframes, and design system foundations.
- Interactive prototypes for validation.
- Accessibility and responsive patterns.
- Handoff package for engineering.
Design takeaway
Clickable prototypes and UI specifications that reduce rework during build.
- Sprint planning, CI/CD, and environments.
- Incremental releases with QA gates.
- Observability, security, and performance baselines.
- Launch checklist & hypercare window.
Build takeaway
Production-ready software with documentation your team can operate.
- SLAs, monitoring, and incident response.
- Patching, dependency updates, and backups.
- Cost & capacity reviews.
- Roadmap grooming for upcoming features.
Run takeaway
Predictable uptime and a clear channel for enhancements.
- Funnel analytics & experimentation backlog.
- Feature flags and gradual rollouts.
- Integrations with marketing & sales tools.

FAQ
You have questions, we have answers
Who should attend the workshop?
Product, design, engineering leads, and a business stakeholder. We tailor attendance to your org size.
Is this remote or on-site?
Both. We run remote-friendly sessions with Miro/FigJam and can facilitate on-site when needed.
What do we need prepared?
Existing research, analytics access, and any constraints (budget, timeline, compliance). We send a checklist before day one.
How does this connect to development?
Outputs plug into design sprints and engineering backlogs. We can quote the build phase after discovery.
