Our Discovery Process

Our Discovery process gives you more than a plan. You’ll walk away with a solid blueprint, clearly defined expectations, and a working prototype—so you can see your solution come to life before development even begins.

Jake Dahl provides an overview of the discovery process and why it’s so important.

Success Starts with Discovery

Software projects that skip or neglect proper discovery have a success rate as low as 10%.


To create exceptional software, you need an exceptional plan. A well-defined plan means identifying your goals, resources, potential roadblocks, and key stakeholders during the discovery process.

This will help your team carry out the project with precision and achieve remarkable results.

Why is Discovery so Important?


Imagine building a house without a blueprint or an architect — risky, right?


The same goes for software development. Starting without a detailed plan can lead to costly surprises and delays.

At Onsharp, we bring the expertise and attention to detail you’d expect from a seasoned builder. Our architects and designers work closely with you to craft solutions that align with your goals and deliver measurable results.

At the end of Discovery, you won’t just receive documentation—you’ll get a working prototype of your custom software. This allows you to visualize the solution, test the flow, and give feedback early, ensuring we’re aligned before development begins.

How it Works

In our discovery process, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Discovery is individualized, modular, and comprised of different workshops.


Having an individualized or modular model means workshops can be added or subtracted depending on what’s needed. This way, subject matter experts can be brought in on an as-needed basis.  

After the process is complete, you’ll get a final project scope and estimate so you have a clear understanding of the full project and actionable next steps.  

Workshop Information

How long does it take?

It depends, but typically 4-8 weeks.


Discovery is the most critical phase of the software development process and it sets the foundation for the entire project. We take the time to do it right.

While we aim to complete the discovery process as efficiently as possible, the time required to complete it can vary depending on several factors.

To ensure that we deliver a successful software application or integration that meets all of your business objectives and requirements, we recommend that the discovery process be given the appropriate amount of time it needs. We understand that time is of the essence, but skipping or rushing through the discovery process could lead to costly mistakes and delays down the line.

From Plan to Prototype

Our Discovery process now includes a custom software prototype, an interactive model that brings your software’s core features and design to life before development begins.

This interactive preview allows you to:

  • See It in Action: Explore a working model of your software to visualize its potential.
  • Collaborate Effectively: Provide feedback early to shape the final product with confidence.
  • Validate Decisions: Identify and address potential issues before development starts, saving time and resources.
