A short discovery beats a long rebuild. Here is the minimum RedoNext insists on before committing calendar and budget.

Skipping discovery feels fast until the third pivot. We keep discovery short and sharp — enough to protect both sides from false certainty.

The minimum we need

  • Business outcome in one sentence
  • Primary users and the job they are hiring the product to do
  • Constraints: timeline, integrations, compliance, budget shape
  • What “done” looks like for the first release

“If we cannot name the first release outcome, we are not ready to estimate sprints.”
