Advisory & Discovery

Know what to build before you build. Clear scope, architecture, and ROI.

You'll recognise this

You are building before you know what to build.

Scope, architecture and the return are still open. The sprint has already started.

  • The brief is not written down

    What to build is still a conversation. The sprint starts on a guess.

  • The architecture is assumed

    Systems, data and the people who use them are not mapped yet.

  • The return is still a hope

    You cannot see what the work is worth before the cost is spent.

What we build

Know what to build before you build.

  1. 01

    The work, on paper

    Processes, systems and data, including the exceptions.

  2. 02

    Architecture and a roadmap

    Named before anyone writes code.

  3. 03

    A case for each idea

    What it changes in the work, and what it costs.

  4. 04

    Also: do not build yet

    If a simpler thing fits, or nothing should be built, that is the answer.

Why it matters

The decision is on the page before the cost is spent.

We name the cost and the change before a sprint starts. We do not publish a return we cannot stand behind.

  1. 01

    A clear scope

    What to build is on the page. The sprint does not start on a guess.

  2. 02

    An architecture you can keep

    The systems, the data and the people are named before anyone writes code.

  3. 03

    The return, written down

    You see what changes in the work, and what it costs, before you commit.

  4. 04

    A decision, including not to build

    If a simpler thing fits, or nothing should be built, that is the answer.

What it looks like

Screens from work that already runs.

Choose a screen. These are real products, with realistic data. Not a customer's data.

How we work

From the first conversation to a system that runs.

  1. 01

    Introduction

    You get a clear view of where the work is stuck, and whether we should build.

  2. 02

    Discovery

    You get the process, the systems and the exceptions, written down with the people who do the work.

  3. 03

    Blueprint

    You get the scope, the cost and what should change. Not building is a valid outcome.

  4. 04

    Build in sprints

    Each week you see something working. You can say what is off before the next sprint.

  5. 05

    Live and care

    You get a tested release, documentation and a named owner. We stay, or we hand it over.

For Mkb and enterprise

Twenty people, or two thousand.

For Mkb

Start fast. Fixed steps.

  • A clear scope
  • A practical plan
  • A decision, including not to build

For enterprise

Architecture and security.

  • The people and systems involved
  • Architecture, security and access
  • A phased case for the investment

Questions

Before you decide.

No. Discovery decides what to build. A sprint starts after the scope, the architecture and the return are written down.

What changes in the work, and what it costs, before you commit. Not a percentage we cannot stand behind.

No. If a simpler thing fits, or the work should not be built, we say that.

The scope, the architecture and the return, written down. The same team can then build it.
