Shaping up ideas into robust solutions
Everything begins with a genuine idea. But there must be reasons behind why all ideas do not transform into what others call, a “Success”. To avoid such calamities, Gevelopers gives paramount importance to a custom designed Discovery Workshop, just for you. Let’s know more about it!
The Purpose
“The goal of Discovery Workshop is to educate our clients to provide thorough information through brainstorming sessions before the development cycle begins. This will help us to deliver a robust, unique and out-of-the-box solution with stunning UI/UX design using the most advanced technologies”.
The core purpose is not only to share project requirements, but also to understand client expectations and facilitate them with our quality and experience.

In more simpler terms, for a software development or mobile app development project, Discovery Workshop is the pre-development stage of gathering and sharing relevant project information between client and the project team. The platform for information sharing could be on site/off site meetups and online conferences.
A specially curated session is a project initiation process to shape up your ideas, engineer your requirements and to take your product merely from a concept to advanced development stages in lesser time.
What can a client expect during these sessions?
Analyse, identify and present information on core vision, industry problems, strategic analysis, niche targets, project scope, etc.
What can a project team do for you?
Explore the subject area and business flow, identify bottlenecks and present relevant solutions, organize the clutter, create a roadmap.
Why Clients Shouldn’t Overlook Discovery Workshop?
“Imagine yourself as a client looking to have your mobile application developed. After searching for a while, you agree contractual terms with one esteemed software development company. Given the fact that you already have a good idea of what your app should look like and how it would work, you simply ignore the project discovery workshop due to tight deadlines, time and money constraints. So you finally decide to handover the specifications document to the technical team and set a specific deadline for the delivery and product launch.
In this case, the software development team would not have any further queries and starts mobile app design and development process to deliver the product well within time. Those few weeks or months pass quickly and you finally have a stunning mobile app ready. You make the mobile app go live and wait for the first new visitors with high anticipation and excitement levels.
After a couple of months, statistics and analysis derive that your app users are not enjoying your beautifully designed app and conversion is far away from your expectations. This results in a situation where you already have spent most or all of your capital in app development and now do not have enough money to develop it further due to failed ROI. This would be the moment when you say to yourself : “Something went wrong badly.”

UI/UX Designing
The UI/UX design team may be the biggest thinkers and though we have the best talents delivering outstanding designs week-in, week-out; we believe that clients are equally important part of Discovery sessions to make an end product a success. Key details are very important for thinking and visualization process for design team! If you don’t want key details to get lost in translation, you need to plan the process out right. It is to ensure that all the features you expect to be developed are covered in the product’s roadmap/ user journeys. This is achieved when there is a smooth transition of information between design team and other project stakeholders.
