What is a scoping session
and ideation workshop?

Scoping session is a 1-2 days business meeting dedicated to software project planning. Together with the development team, you  discuss the ideas of the project, gather requirements, set up the goals, and define the vision of the project.

During the session together we focus on all the aspects necessary to efficiently work on the project. It covers ideation, scope definition, time, and cost estimation, system design and the go-to-market strategy.

It is the perfect solution for the discovery phase and a starting point to dive into details and understand the vision of product development. When you do not have the capability to define the product backlog and evaluate whether it is a good direction, read more about the process and see if you need a scoping session.
