Define Before You Build
Good Development Starts With Clear Decisions.
Large software projects are difficult to estimate when the requirements are still changing or several stakeholders have different expectations.
A technical discovery engagement can document workflows, users, data, screens, integrations, architecture and major business rules before full development begins.
The result is a clearer scope that can support budgeting, internal approval, development planning or vendor comparison.
Planning Deliverables
Turn Business Requirements Into
Something Developers Can Build.
The exact deliverables depend on the project, but the goal is always to remove ambiguity before development.
Requirements
Functional Requirements
Document what users need to do, what information they need and what the system must accomplish.
Workflow
Workflow Documentation
Map business steps, approvals, exceptions, notifications and handoffs.
Prototype
Interface Prototypes
Create screen concepts and clickable flows to validate how users will move through the application.
Data
Data Planning
Identify records, relationships, ownership, imports, reporting and migration requirements.
Integration
Integration Specifications
Define external systems, APIs, data exchange and authentication requirements.
Architecture
Technical Architecture
Outline the major application components, environments and deployment approach.
Why Discovery Matters
Reduce Expensive Uncertainty
Before Development Begins.
A small investment in planning can prevent major changes after code has already been written.
01
Better Estimates
Developers can estimate more accurately when requirements and assumptions are explicit.
02
Stakeholder Alignment
Business owners, users and developers can review the same documented plan.
03
Fewer Surprises
Important workflows, integrations and edge cases are identified earlier.
04
Reusable Documentation
The specifications can support development, testing, training and future enhancements.
Our Process
Move From Idea to Buildable Specification.
We combine business discovery with technical planning so the final documents are practical for development.
01
Discovery
We interview stakeholders and review current processes, systems and goals.
02
Workflow Mapping
We document users, steps, decisions, exceptions and data movement.
03
Prototype
We create screen and navigation concepts for the major user flows.
04
Technical Plan
We define architecture, data, integrations, permissions and environments.
05
Development Scope
We organize the work into a structure that can support estimating and implementation.

Local Technical Discovery With the
Developers Who Can Also Build the System.
Because Seed performs both planning and development, our specifications are written with implementation in mind rather than as abstract consulting documents.
