OUR APPROACH

Our Software Product Discovery
Services Process

Discovery phase services for product development
take several detailed stages.

Project Initiation

The process begins with project initiation, where the discovery team engages with the client to understand their business goals, challenges, as well as functional and non-functional requirements. This step involves gathering initial information and setting expectations.

Research and Analysis

Artkai’s discovery team conducts in-depth research and analysis to gain insights into the target market, industry trends, and competitors. They gather data through market research, user research, and competitive analysis to understand user needs, pain points, and market gaps.

Stakeholder Interviews and Workshops

The team conducts interviews and workshops with key stakeholders, such as business owners, product managers, and subject matter experts. These sessions aim to gather requirements, align stakeholders, and uncover valuable insights to shape the product vision.

User Research and Persona Creation

We employ user research methods like interviews, surveys, and usability testing to understand user behaviors, preferences, and needs. Based on this data, we create user personas representing different target user groups.

Ideation and Concept Generation

Our team generates and refines ideas for the software product through collaborative workshops and brainstorming sessions. We explore various concepts, features, and functionalities that align with user needs and business goals.

Prototyping and Validation

The team creates prototypes or wireframes to visualize the product's user interface and interaction flow. These prototypes are then validated through usability testing and feedback collection from target users, helping to iterate and refine the product concept.

Documentation and Roadmapping

Shaping the final documentation of key findings, requirements, user personas, and a product roadmap. This documentation is the foundation for the subsequent development phases and guides the project team.
