Understand the starting point
Discovery brings the goals, users, current tools, and operating constraints into one conversation. It helps distinguish the underlying business problem from a proposed feature and gives both teams a shared starting point.
Turn understanding into a plan
The plan should describe the important workflows, the first release, integration needs, and the decisions that still need to be made. Architecture and interface design follow the requirement, alongside agreed milestones and commercial terms.
Build in reviewable phases
A working increment gives the team something concrete to discuss. Reviews can validate the user journey, business rules, and handling of real data. The next phase can then incorporate agreed feedback while keeping changes visible.
Prepare for everyday use
Release planning includes testing, production configuration, user access, documentation, and handover. Support and future improvements should be agreed around the needs of the application. Launch is a transition into use, with a clear understanding of what comes next.
