You have an idea for a software project that will have a big impact on your business. Before jumping into the design and development it is crucial to do project discovery. Project discovery is the initial step in project development aimed at understanding exactly what problems it addresses, who the target audience is, if the solution will genuinely add value, and a number of other key factors.
Project discovery is usually done when the project is conceived by the technical team. They have an idea for a great solution and they need to identify if the problem actually exists within the organization, or how the solution can be scoped to fit the needs of the company.
Projects conceived by the business team almost always start with a problem, so the reason and scope for the project are already known.
