In this stage, we describe possible solutions, develop a direction, and build consensus.
The Strategy Exploration stage lays the groundwork for an eventual solution. Here, we explore the various ways we can meet project goals, and provide answers to issues we discovered during the Investigation. This stage requires a high level of client interaction, collaboration, and feedback. We develop a set of requirements, and review the requirements with your technical team and your management. Ultimately, we’re setting the course for your final product. We’ll use architecture studies and storyboards, as well as visuals for design concepts and look and feel studies to help the team foresee what’s ahead.
Typically, the outcome of this exploration is discussed in a Strategy Presentation or report that highlights our findings and direction to key stakeholders.
The findings will be aimed at summarizing the requirements for design and implementation. Detail will be at a level consistent with that required to enable the client to convey a set of specifications and performance requirements to other stakeholders.
