Bytegeek's Product Scope
The Structured Process Behind Successful Product Development
What is a Product Scope?
The Product Scope is an intensive, 7-day, structured process designed to set your project up for success. It starts with an immersive focus session where you’ll sit down with product experts and ex-startup founders to dive into your product vision from a business standpoint. Then we’ll create the right list of user stories for your Minimum Viable Product, ensuring you have all the vital features you need to go to market and test your main assumptions.
How It Works
Key Benefits
Immersive Focus
We spend two days together in an intensive session so that we can reach a state of absolute focus and dig down to the core of the product’s value proposition.
Reduced Risk
We don’t want to help you build a full-featured product only to discover the market doesn’t want it. We want you to succeed. That’s why we focus on the vital features needed to test your product’s main assumptions – leaving unnecessary features behind, or saving them for later iterations.
Reduced Cost
By cutting down the feature list to the essential core that is needed to prove your product’s assumptions, you’re not only reducing the risk but also reducing the cost. You will spend less on product development and at the initial iteration phase – fewer features equals less maintenance.
Test The Waters
Picking the right agency is a key business decision and we want to make sure we are the right choice for you. With a Product Scope, you use a small part of the project’s time and cost to test our business relationship. You get to know us before committing to the full project.
How It Works
Key BPMN
BPMN (Business Process Model & Notation) is a flow chart method that models the steps of a planned business process from end to end. This is usually needed at this stage when we have complex workflows. We design the key flows to be sure that we’re not missing any important detail in the main flows, and that we’re in sync with the client’s vision.
Tech Scope
Optional: When the project is challenging from a tech standpoint we elaborate research and a memorandum tackling our suggested approaches for tech stack selection, database technology and orchestration.
Tech Spike
Optional: When the project is so challenging on the tech side that the whole project could fail because of a technology bottleneck, we propose to do a Tech Spike. A viability check where we only focus on building a tiny proof of concept that proves the technology approach is viable. This is a risk mitigation procedure that allows the Project to move to the MVP building phase on solid ground.
Business Model
Optional: When the business model is either undefined or unclear we also propose to study the most viable Business Model for the product. This study starts with looking at direct competitors, then parallel or similar cases, then we run simulations to then, together with the client, evaluate the best approach.
Stakeholders Analysis
Our product decisions are based on a structured rationale. We need to know all the stakeholders in-depth in order to help to guide decisions about the product and also to help to prioritize the key User Stories for the MVP.
User Stories
We get into the mind of your product’s ideal user and create the story of the journey they take through the product. We know from experience that creating user stories is better than lists of features because it keeps the user at the center of the process.
