Development Workshops

Solve the Whats, Whys and How Muches with a One Day Dev Workshop.

The Big Questions We Help You Answer

These workshops are made to dig deep and open your eye’s to the questions you’ve been missing to ask. It is an educational and insightful meeting meant to cut through the fluff and get to the real answers listed below. Whether we build it or not, we will always have your best interest in mind.

  • What You Need to Build

    Otherwise termed an MVP, we go through an interactive whiteboarding experience with you in order to determine the features and functions that you must launch with.

  • How You need to Build It

    Based on the stated MVP features we determine the optimal technologies to meet budget, timeline and launch expectations; otherwise known as the Build Architecture and UX Flow.

  • How Much it Will Cost

    The big one. We help finalize a SOW (scope of work) after we truly determine the MVP being built and what future states may exist to phase in.

  • How Long it Will Take

    Our goal? Determine the shortest timeline needed for the build in order to release it with all the necessary features and then iterate upon. Technology and ideas change, build and ship.

The Deliverables

Each workshop is slightly unique, tailoring the deliverables to what provides the most insight in order to help you move forward on your path to build discovery. The primary goal is to gather the minimum project requirements and translate that into an executable technical scope.

In the initial stages of planning a workshop for you we assess and confirm what kinds of deliverables will be the most helpful. Below are some of the most common deliverables that can come from a workshop.

  • Build Architecture
  • UX Flow (per User Type)
  • Sitemap
  • Features & Function
  • Scope of Work
  • Timeline
