We use the best Business Analysis practices for software development to bridge a gap between the business needs and the IT team.
Must-have elements of discovery phase of projects
Industry analysis
When developing a product, it is necessary to take into account features of the industry where it will be applied. Rules that work for one industry will not always work in the other. At the Discovery Phase, study of your industry specific business processes allows implementation of the best practices and tools.
Competitor analysis
One of the parts of business analysis services is the research of your competitors, weak spots in their products, and improvements that can be implemented in your product to get a competitive advantage.
Technical research
There are no two identical projects and each product includes certain business and technical requirements that must be taken into account at the very early stages of development. The result of the Discovery Phase of the project will be a list of recommended technologies and frameworks to use.
Technical documentation
Tech specification is a crucial part of a project. The success and on-time completion of the project as well as its future development highly depends on how thoroughly the project is clarified and described, how correctly it is reflected in the technical specification.
Our business analysis services
The Business Analysis Stage is a groundwork for every software development project. It is carried out by a business analyst and helps to reveal the project potential and estimate possible risks and assumptions, as well as to find the best technical solution and insights for the project implementation. That is what business analysis services are for. It is the first stage of every software development process, the value of which you cannot overstate.

Frequently asked questions
When should I use Business Analysis Services?
The best time to go through the Discovery Phase is at the start of any major project or building any complex system, especially when there is not enough information gathered about the market or users. We also recommend keeping the business analyst as a part of the internal IT team to keep the requirements and the software up-to-date and aligned with your business’s needs.
Why is the pre-development Discovery Phase necessary?
There are 2 key reasons. The first one is that analysis helps businesses to create the whole picture of the final solution, to define the goals which businesses want to achieve, and how they can estimate the success of a project in the future.
The second one is to provide the design, development, and QA teams with all necessary information required to build the right groundwork (e.g. — architecture) and release the application within the timeline and budget.
How does ongoing Business Analysis differ from the initial Business Analysis (Discovery Phase)?
Discovery Phase is the time when we work on the project analysis and planning. It is a very active phase, both for our Clients and our team, when we perform lots of sessions. Ongoing business analysis isn’t so time-intensive we just need to support the requirements up-to-date to the business changes.
What is covered in a Business Analysis session?
Each session of the business analysis services is usually devoted to the analysis of some business process (e.g. order entry, processing, invoicing, data transfer, etc.) or to the discussion of our Business Analysts discoveries from industry and/or competitors research. Also, during such sessions we discuss your questions/comments.
