Scoping sessions at Divante
It’s a service created for our clients to help them reduce the risk associated with starting an IT project. The stages of Scoping Sessions allow the client and Divante to know and prepare the project scope, plan its specific stages and define the budget and timeline. This service is not only a meeting with the client and the Divante team.
It’s a more complex process that may last from three to six weeks and consist of several phases that help us to create a proper plan and strategy that takes into account your business needs.
Why is it worth starting every business from scoping sessions?
If your goal is to create progressive web app (PWA) start a product development or IT project you are in good stage.
We recommend participation in the scoping workshops for each of our clients, as it may have a positive impact on the course nd the success of the project.
-
Roadmap
As a result you can get a MVP (minimum viable product) and the roadmap that will be a visualization of your idea and an action plan in one place.
-
Team support
Our experienced team will help you kick off the project in the best possible manner in order to deliver predictable results.
-
Timeline and the budget
You’re not taking a bigger risk by investing money in a project that won’t meet your business’s requirements. After workshops you’ll be aware of how much time this project will take and when you’ll see the first results.
" For a client, it is absolutely a must to be able to see the scope, budget, and timelines and plan accordingly. It is also important for us to be able to plan the engagement of appropriate resources on a project and make development a reasoned process. Only with quality planning can we have good control of the project and its outcomes. I’ve heard a saying, “An hour of planning saves 10 hours in development!” This is actually not true, as one hour of planning can save so much more than 10 hours in development. ”

After the call, we’re well equipped to confirm the right team composition and approach as well as the deliverables that will follow.

Dan Sturza | Business Development VP | Elefant.ro
“We had a genuinely positive experience with Divante. Their great specialist expertise in eCommerce was an important asset during the scoping period. We received valuable guidance not only on general development but also on architecture, product, and business matters. It is an entrepreneurial company that offered our project a great deal of attention and hyper care. The team is young, vibrant, and very involved in the process. I think Divante is a great partner for developing complex projects based on the latest technologies”.

Javier Garcia-Plata | Marketplace Development Manager | ShipServ
“The Scoping Session with Divante was one the earliest decisions that we made at the beginning of our project. In a matter of a few sessions with Divante’s team, we got a very comprehensive overview of the technology landscape and best business practices. They understood quickly what we aimed to achieve and provided us with that kind of insight and planning that only real experts can provide. That was the best way to set off!”
