A Discovery Call is an initial discussion where the development team gathers information about the client’s business, project idea, and technical needs.

The main goal is to understand the problem before building the solution.

It usually happens before:

1. Project planning
2. System design
3. Development

This call ensures everyone is aligned on the project scope and expectations.

Purpose of a Discovery Call

The discovery call helps to:

• Understand the client's business goals

• Identify the main problem the software should solve

• Define project requirements

• Discuss budget and timeline

• Determine the best technical approach

Without a discovery phase, many software projects fail because requirements are unclear.
