Discovery & Scoping Workshop

Discovery and scoping workshop for custom software planning and requirement definition

Great software starts with the right questions. At Chakraborty Works, our Discovery & Scoping Workshop for Custom Software & Guidance is a collaborative, structured process designed to define what to build, why to build it, and how to build it—before a single line of code is written.

We turn ideas, challenges, and assumptions into a clear, actionable software roadmap.


Our Discovery & Scoping Workshop Includes:

• Business goals and problem-definition sessions
• Stakeholder interviews and requirement gathering
• User journey and workflow mapping
• Feature prioritization and scope definition
• Technical feasibility and guidance

Process

Team collaborating in a software discovery workshop to define features and technical scope

01 Business & Vision Alignment

We begin by understanding your business objectives, operational challenges, and long-term vision. This alignment ensures the software solution supports real outcomes—efficiency, scalability, automation, or growth—not just features.


02 User & Workflow Discovery

Next, we map how users interact with your current systems and processes. By identifying pain points, bottlenecks, and opportunities, we ensure the proposed software is intuitive, practical, and human-centered.


03 Feature Scoping & Prioritization

We translate insights into clearly defined features and requirements. Using prioritization frameworks, we separate must-haves from nice-to-haves—helping control costs, timelines, and scope creep.


04 Technical Guidance & Roadmapping

Before development, we provide technical direction on architecture, platforms, integrations, and scalability considerations. The outcome is a clear scope document and roadmap that guides development with confidence and clarity.

Importance

Why Discovery & Scoping Matters

Skipping discovery leads to rework, delays, and wasted investment. A proper scoping workshop reduces risk, aligns stakeholders, and ensures development starts with shared understanding and realistic expectations.


We sharpen your brands and businesses by building clarity before code.

Discovery & Scoping is the foundation of successful custom software. Just as planning guides construction, scoping guides development—saving time, cost, and complexity. At Chakraborty Works, we believe clarity is the first deliverable.
