Every piece of software starts with an idea, but for it to get legs and be successful you need to build the right team around you to ensure it is executed properly.

The foundations to developing software is getting the right team, and Devpro in Byron Bay are a team that work tirelessly to ensure you get the software you want and need.

At Devpro we believe communication is key and ensuring all stakeholders are on the same page. All stakeholders need to understand the budget, the timeframe, the expectations of the software, and the limitations that might prevent the idea moving forward or might take it in another direction; all this should be found in the software discovery process.

We are Here from Start to Finish

At Devpro in Byron Bay we have a dedicated team that will support you from fruition to delivery, we believe in working closely with our clients so we can highlight areas that might require more discussion. 

At Devpro, we employ a 360-degree approach to the Software discovery process, we want to get your ideas, but we also need the technical gurus to weigh in on how feasible the idea is, and we take the idea to the end-user; after all, why develop software that no one wants and/or needs? Getting a clear idea of how the market feels about the software that is being developed is vital to its success.

Devpro Takes the Time to Understand their Client’s Needs.

Devpro wants you, our client, to be the focus of our software discovery process. We need to build the software that you want, it needs to function in a real way, and in the way you need it too, so we ultimately need you in every part of the process.

We encourage all our clients to test-drive their ideas in the marketplace to gauge their reaction; then we can assess, redesign, and redirect if needed.

We Cover All Our Bases.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” ― Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States

Preparation is vital in success, and the discovery process is the client’s chance to give all the details about their idea, this is where other parts of the team discuss their viability, if something can’t be achieved, or needs to be reworked, this is the time to discuss it. An idea without planning will not succeed, and at Devpro we have experience in driving ideas forward.

The software discovery process is where we bring your ideas to life, so stop thinking it and start doing it. We want you, our client, to be in the driving seat; Devpro in Byron Bay are your vehicle to drive you to success. Let us guide you forward. Call 1300 911 601 and start your software development journey with a team that prides themselves on excellence through their meticulous dedication to making your idea work.

Discovery is an opportunity to discuss your unique business objectives that define the software features to support it, the technology required and the level of automation they provide.

That is why software development projects are always preceded by the so-called Discovery Phase.

WHAT IS DISCOVERY PHASE IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT & WHEN DO YOU NEED IT?

Discovery Phase is the initial stage of a software project which involves business analysis and requirements elicitation, technology stack choice, cost estimation and project planning. Its main goal is to ensure a development team is 100% on the same page with your business goals and know how to bring your software idea to life in the fastest and most efficient way.

The discovery will enable us to look holistically at your development project and to account for your most ambitious goals when building the core design for your system. We don’t want to get halfway down the road of development and discover something which fundamentally changes the design already built.

DELIVERABLES PRODUCED DURING THE DISCOVERY STAGE

Discovery’s major purpose is to ensure you are moving in the right direction and understand how to transform your business requirements into high-performance code.

Like other phases of software product development, however, it is designed to produce tangible results. What are they?

Depending on the project, and the level of discovery some of the deliverables may include:

Functional requirements. A detailed description of all the functions performed by a software system which is written by and for developers (“the user account screen features a profile picture and several fields where personal data including name, phone and credit card number can be entered and edited”).

Non-functional requirements. These include usability, performance and maintenance requirements explaining how the system is going to facilitate the processes outlined in the functional requirements section.

User stories. A detailed description of tasks a user can do with the software solution which is written from a user’s perspective.

Sketches and wireframes. Creating “skeletons” of a website or app page is a great way to outline UI design requirements, specify navigation logic and determine how screens will be linked to each other.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SOFTWARE DISCOVERY MEETING

A software discovery meeting will typically be arranged with key stakeholders from each of the relevant departments from which users of the software will operate. This enables each department to contribute their key requirements for the system, as well as personal preferences around operation and workflow.

It is important for all stakeholders to be involved as this can highlight differences in expected outcomes.

Technical personnel with knowledge of the current computer systems relevant to the project are also invited for the purpose of building technical specifications around data and scaling requirements.

The time and schedules are maybe difficult to accurately define but are usually relative to the scale of the development project. We would typically provide estimations on a case by case basis after preliminary discussions with project leaders in the organisation.

A typical discovery session would usually occur in the following format:

• Introduction to discovery

• Requirements overview

• Department requirements / wishlists / user stories

• Concept design suggestions / feedback

• Finalisation and wrap up including summary of project understanding and expected deliverables.
